Unfortunately, when the image was restored to the disk, its data overwrote the data on the disk, at least 90% of it. When the data is overwritten, it's gone, and nothing can be done about this. You may try to scan for known file types the last 10% of the disk in attempt to find something, but chances are really low.

I have been given the task to determine if data can be recovered from a Mac HFS+ Hard Drive that accidentally had a byte by byte image restore done to it. Is this possible? The person who did the accidental re-image stopped the re-image at 90% once they realized the mistake. The capacity of the HD and the image were the same.

Thanks.
