Post by Azri » Wed Jul 16, 2008 11:41 pm

Dear Sir,
I downloaded HDClone free edition just to try to copy my phone memory card.I try to clone the card into my portable disk.The portable disk size is 80GB.Actually i don't know how the result should be as i think that all data in portable drive will not be erase.How ever after finish cloning i soon realize that all data in that driver already gone.

My question is.Is any way that i could undo or recover back my data that been erase by HDclone.Please i realy want to undo the clone as i lost my valuable data.

HDClone overwrites the target hard disk with the contents of the source disk.

Unfortunately, the only chance you have of regaining some data from your target hard disk, is if some data lies behind the data copied. If say you copied a 40GB to the 80GB external disk, the 40GB at the end of the disk will still be intact, while the first 40GB are overwritten and cannot be restored.
