System Image has overwritten older version, any way to restore?
Hi all
I recently rebuilt my Windows 7 64bit laptop, but before doing so I created a system image on an external drive, so if I encountered any problems I could restore it to it's previous state.
The rebuild went fine but after a week or so I realised that I had not copied some of my photos I wanted to transfer.
I thought if I created another system image I could restore to the older version, grab the photos, then restore back using the most current image and all would be well.
I began creating the new system image and was warned that it 'may' overwrite older versions if there was insufficient space on the drive. Well as there would have been about 300gb free even after adding this system image I didn't think it would be a problem. I imagine you can guess what happens next.....it's overwritten my original system image.
So what I am desperate to now know is.....is there any way to recover the original system image from the drive?
Thanks in advance.
