Accidentally formatted One of the Raid 0 HDD
Accidentally formatted One of the Raid 0 HDD
Hi All,
I have formatted One of the Raid 0 HDD accidentally with mac os x , it's 3Tb WD HDD and i'm so lost now all my working files(video footages) are here.
May i know how to start R-studio? Should scan the new formatted HDD or scan the Raid HDD(which show its failure)
Many thanks

When you destroyed data on one disk of a RAID0, you destroyed all data on the RAID0 irrecoverably. Sorry.

Was it just a quick format, or did you long/secure format it?
Reason I ask is that if it were just a quick format, it may be possible to still recover the bulk of the video files. File names & folder structure will almost certainly all be lost though.

i used Disk Utility formatted with OS X(Journaled), is it a quick format?
I hope i can recover it at least 70%. many thanks

Hi Vincent
You'd better reply to the friend Data Medics user' question, since quick format against full format makes two totally different epilogues.
Your hdd is 3TB. Did the format process took just few instants/seconds (quick initialization)? Or it lasted some three / four hours (full format)?
After the formatting/initialization, have you written something in that drive?

I think it will be possible to recover un-fragmented files by searching for known file types (raw file recovery).
Re: Accidentally formatted One of the Raid 0 HDD
Well
The premises tell that if properly reconstructed, it could even return the filesystem structure.
It is matter of find parameters and run the scan.
Was that HFS+ formatted that RAID 0?

If it's a software Apple RAID, this article might be of help: Default Parameters of Software Stripe Sets (RAID 0) in Mac OS X.

Re: Accidentally formatted One of the Raid 0 HDD
I doubt that filesystem will be recoverable, as the catalog file was most likely overwritten by the format. If not competely, it'd be at least partially overwritten. Even taking RAID out of the picture over-formatted HFS is a nightmare to get back any file names or folder structure. But, can still likely get back a good amount of data.Corsari wrote:Well
