How to recover data from formatted drive?

by matte4 . Updated 16 years, 7 months ago

On my file server I have a raid 1 with the second drive an exact duplicate of the first drive. Today i got a new pc to use as a file server and was moving everything to the new server. I installed both drives and went into the raid configuration manager to setup the raid. Once i had everything the way i wanted it i saved and exited.

Every other time i have set up a raid the mirror drive has been formatted then rebuilt from the source drive. This time both drives were deleted and i have lost everything.

I have some recovery software that i am running to recover the data from the raw drive but everything is coming out with the name file1.***, file2.***, etc. Does anyone know any good software that will recover the files with the original file information and directories? Or is there anyway i could rebuild the file system information from the raw drive?

Thanks for any help!!!
