Vista - Shrink volume stole 50GB

Shrink volume stole 50GB

I have 3 hard drives. The first drive contains XP and Vista. The 2nd and 3rd 320GB drives are for Program files and storage respectively.

I decided to shrink one of my 320GB drives by 50GB to create a partition using the Disk Management feature. When I shrunk the volume I had an error stating that there was not enough room and that the operation was canceled. However the size of available space on the drive has shrunk by 50GB from 260GB free to 210GB free with NO unallocated space or any indication where it has gone. I'm stumped on how to go about recovering the missing space

Any help much appreciated.
