    Ok clicking "Open Drive" opens a small window which shows the drives on your computer, I'm assuming from the letters your USB was given that you have one hard drice "C" and it is not partitioned.
    If this is the case highlight the entry that refers to "C" and hit the green check mark.

    How big is your Hdd and how much is free space?

    Sorry if this is mentioned previously but I couldn't go through the entire thread but for those who are deterred by the administrator privilages (or the lack of them) when it comes to using TrueCrypt look here:

    http://www.codeproject.com/KB/files/TCExplorer.aspx

    It does have the minor limitation of not working with NTFS formatted (created) TrueCrypt containers but is otherwise invaluable. Always carry a copy on my USB drive.:beer:

    Doesn't that only work with containers created by earlier versions of Truecrypt though? (<5.0 I think???)

    OK I think the USB is a lost cause as far as file recovery is concerned, think the files that were on there have been over written.

    If you highlight "C" and hit the green checkmark the box will disappear and a side pane will open in the main window
    will have something like "Root" at the top, then "Deleted" then "Lost" and "Search"
    Do you know where in C drive you had these files saved before you put them on your USB
