[Ti] How do I undelete some files

[Justin R. Miller]

External drive as in unpluggable?  Like a Firewire drive?  Because if 
it wasn't connected when you emptied the Trash, then it is still in 
that drive's Trash and should be there when you reconnect the drive.

As for REAL file deletion, I'm not familiar with any recovery software. 
  I would imagine, however, that your chances of recovery depend 
somewhat on how full/busy the drive is, since when you delete, inodes 
are merely marked as available and the data isn't actually deleted 
until you either need the space or if they filesystem is really busy 
and happens to write over those spots.

Good luck!
