Bad news here. I thought I would do a hard drive backup and used the One Button Copy Disk command thinking it would copy to a previous backup. It didnt. It copied and overwrote one active partition on a separate drive with 4 partitions. Now all data I had on drive 2 is overwritten by four new partitions. It was supposed to copy my C (boot) and three other partitions of drive 1 to another drive. So in place of my valuable video files are backups of the boot partition etc.

When I look in Paragon Drive Backup 10 the drive 2 overwritten is a basic hard disk 1 (ATA Toshiba DT01ACA3 SCSI Disk Device) and it indicates there is nothing on it. It also does not have a drive letter associated.

When I look on EaseUS Partition Master Pro Edition v9.2.2 I can see it all as Disk 2 with 4 active partitions and an unallocated space of 2TB.

Can I get my previous partition back intact with all video files?

I used Paragon Backup & Recovery version 10, build 10815 (22.09.10 ) Suite to do the copy.

Asking the obvious but does Paragon have some sort of UNDO or Recovery tools.

Which recovery programs would recover my partition.

I wont touch the drive till I hear.
Thx

Look at these two programs:
Recuva from http://www.piriform.com/
r-studio from http://www.r-studio.com/
I prefer r-studio but it costs money. Don't write anything to the disk in the meantime. You will need another to write the recovered files to.

Fast one
