We often hear about a problem ... but don't hear the final solution
... assuming there was one.

Do you mind updating us? Did the technician cause more trouble with
Ghost? Actually, it is one program I find to be excellent and
dangerous. Especially 'disk to disk'!

He was asked if he is sure of what he is doing, he said yes. I have
to
say the disk is one year old. While trying to open Guost from a CD
and
started it he was trying to copy my disk to another big one, the new
one "hit" and went back to his shop to bring another one. Then he was
thinking that perhaps the second one will hit, too and did not try to
do it for a second time. BUT when he went back to see my hard disk,
NO
DISC was there. I almost fainted. He could only see it from BIOS.
Could anyone please tell me what hapenned? Is there any way that you
could recommend that I could recover my data?

only small backups in the time left.
