is this recovery easy or hard?

[DanielLee]

I have a Pentium 4 1.6 GHz, 256MB RAM computer running windows 98SE Fat 32 with a 40 Gb Maxtor D740X-Gl hard drive, which is partitioned, into 4 sections. I believe the drive interface is UDMA 100.

Partition 1 - 7.40 GB operating system. Active partition.
Partition 2 – 7.42 GB programs. Logical drive
Partition 3 – 7.43 GB my personal files. Logical drive
Partition 4 – 14.9 GB assorted stuff. Logical drive


I have three Ghost images of three of the partitions, one active and two logical. I was restoring the images to a new hard drive that was partitioned and formatted to the same specs as the hard drive that the images was taken from.

I accidentally restored a partition image (C: active) to a drive instead of a partition, which now prevents the three logical partitions from showing up in Windows Explorer.

If I make a Ghost disk image of that hard drive will it image the partitions that are not showing up?

I wanted to have a image of the mess before I made a bigger mess of the mess.

Is getting the partitions that are not showing up now considered a hard Data recovery or an easy one?

Any assistance appreciated, thanks in advance.

If your saying what i think you are that you put your c: active image on like D: then i would just start over and repartition the new drive
