Is it possible to undo a Ghost image?
Here's what happened:
I installed an OS and applications for this older Compaq system. The system is slow, so it took quite some time. After making different configurations changes, obtaining updates, etc etc... I felt I was ready to make a Ghost image.
With another blank harddrive attached, I was going image the disk to the new drive. As I began to select the drives to image, I noticed something odd. The drives listed didn't seem to match. Drive 1 was displayed as being smaller than drive 2, yet drive 1 was supposed to be just slightly larger than drive 2. I stopped and went back through another part of the program to try to verify which was which. In the end, I picked the combination that appeared to be the only correct possibility. And of course, it turned out wrong. Within a few seconds, the original drive with all the software was wiped clean.
Needless to say, I was not happy.
What gets me is that I've been using Ghost all week long on other systems. I feel very confident with how it operates and it's different quirks. However this time, I don't understand why it was so hard to tell which drive was which.
Is there ANY way to undo the ghost image? With how fast it overwrote the data, I get the feeling it's more like a quick format. All the data may still be there. Can it be recovered? Nothing further has been written to the disk. It is on hold until I can find an answer.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
