Hello to all forum members,

Recently I friend of mine which has a Windows 98 system (all drives are fat32) with 2 scsi (the boot drives) and one IDE for storage "ghosted" by mistake the wrong drive. He wanted to ghost one 4gb scsi drive with the OS preinstalled.. and amount of data to be ghosted around 2gb.. but unfortunately he "ghosted" the 18gb IDE drive which was full of important data: images/

My question is: Is there a way (some kind of software) to recover anything from the ghosted drive?

Thanks in advance for the answers.

Ghost only copies "good files" and does not format the entire destination drive.

i.e. if the source drive had 1.5GB "good files" incl. part. table and FAT etc. these would be copied to your 18GB drive and the files at these locations
on the 18GB would be lost. (replaced by files from source drive).

If you are needing to get image files on the rest of the drive which will not
be overwritten by the ghost - try RecoverMyFiles or something similar.

good luck !
