If you copied 30gb of data what happened to your source files? Surely you verified the copies before deleting the originals. Plenty has been written here before about data recovery tools. There's even a link to one in the advertising on this page.
I used to have a signature but it disappeared and I just couldn't be bothered writing another so please feel free to ingore this.

I have verified the data after copying and then I have deleted the original data, infact I have used the data from the external HDD several times, but now suddenly there is no data there.
