Accidentally overwrite source disk with empty ssd while cloning
I'm using Aomei Diskupper 6.9.1 i think
im 99% sure i set the source disk to the 1TB HDD and the destination disk to the 250GB SSD.. thats what i did the first time which had an error because of gpt->mbr so i just repeated what i did the second time
Disk Clone
screen 1 = set source, pick my 1TB hdd (actual data used is about 100GB)
screen 2 = set destination, pick 250gb ssd (
The source hdd was gpt and the dest ssd was mbr if i remember corrextly
then i started to clone and the screen blanked out a few times except for the mouse and then it said it was done and i was like wait, no way, too fast that's impossible and i checked and realized my hdd was messed up becuase now it says it only has 100 MB on it
I picked ssd optimize and the default for the space used .. i dont remember right now if it was add unused space to partition or copy without resizings partition
i checked logs and they don't seem to say which disk i cloned from and to, im not sure if i checked the correct log or it just doesn't have that information. it does have all the other information like size of partitions and settings i chose
most likely i made a mistake in picking source to destination disk (although i want to confirm it with log) but anyway is there anything i can do to retrieve my data from the HDD?
