Cloned HDD 1 onto HDD2 by mistake. Been backing stuff up, but a
restore is slower than a recovery, even partial. HDD1 had very little
data; HDD 2 had more, so I guess it wasn't overwritten, just a new
partition table.
Any utility to re-establist the now-lost, now-partial partition?

Such as Partition Magic that area into a new partition, and Linux boot
into fdisk to change it to NTFS type?

Otherwise, a longer restore.

Thanks.

I did the same thing myself before. The process for cloning one drive
to another with Ghost is not as straightforward as it should be,
expecially if the drives are the same model.

I was able to recover most of my data with findpart, since the important
partition was at the end of the disk.

Svend might be able to help you out more than I can...
