Incorrect operation & use of Ghosting programs can have very serious consequences, as the data previously held on the hard disk that is to receive the image will often be completely overwritten. This is not always the case though, as sometimes the disk receiving the image may be considerably larger than the original disk. Ghosting to a disk of this type will almost certainly destroy the file system and root directory structure but some of the data that was previously on the hard disk may still be recoverable. Other problems exist too, such as Ghosting in the wrong direction, unexpected program termination or system crash due to program defects or problems on one or more of the hard disks (eg. due to bad sectorsetc.)

Recovery possibilities: Recovery of data from Ghosted drives is often complicated and time consuming. Data Clinic frequently need to perform a considerable amount of analysis on a hard disk before we even know if the data is recoverable. Because of this, Data Clinic charge a diagnosis fee for data recovery from Ghosted hard drives.
