How do I Recover 'Ghosted' (or 'imaged') hard disk drives?
Explanation: Imaging (or 'Ghost') programs such as Symantec Ghost are often used to make identical or near identical copies of a hard disk. This copy can then be used as a backup or to transfer a system onto another hard drive etc.
Incorrect operation & use of Ghosting programs can have very serious consequences, as the data previously held on the hard disk that is to receive the image will often be completely overwritten. This is not always the case though, as sometimes the disk receiving the image may be considerably larger than the original disk. Ghosting to a disk of this type will almost certainly destroy the file system and root directory structure but some of the data that was previously on the hard disk may still be recoverable. Other problems exist too, such as Ghosting in the wrong direction, unexpected program termination or system crash due to program defects or problems on one or more of the hard disks (e.g. due to bad sectors etc.)
If you want to recover files from 'Ghosted' (or 'imaged') hard disk drives, especially under Windows Vista/2008/Windows 7, our ALL-IN-ONE data recovery solution - EASEUS Partition Master is highly recommended. Besides data recovery feature, it also provides Partition Manager and Disk & Partition Copy for better partition management. Home Edition is FREE for home users.
