I had a 4TB hard drive that accidently had it partition deleted using command line "delpart" and then formatted.
I created an R-Studio image of the 4TB hard drive as well as the scan file ".*.scn" that now reside's on a NAS server with RAID 5.
I am unsure how to progress to recover (Is it really possible ... can I get all my data back ?) all the data on the NAS server back onto the 4TB hard drive.
The 4TB Hard drive is connected to my laptop via a USB 3.0 connection and the R-Studio image image file is accessible via a mapped drive on the same laptop.
I have read the help files but do not seem to be able to understand what I have to do. Any help will be sincerely appreciated.

Re: Idiot's Guide Required
It is/was possible to scan directly the image you have created 
Mr. Alt will provide you the detailed instructions
Though the basic is to right click on the drive and scan it
If you load/add the image, it will appear in the left pane and it will be exactly as if it was a physical disk.
So exactly as above, you'll right click the image and scan it.
Leave the scan to go over and check the result/s.
If you did a quick delpart and a quick format, all the files are still there.
If after the format process, you have added/written something on that drive, the corresponding size of overwritten data is lost.
