deleted disk

[mtaffe]

I was reinstalling windows like I have done many times. I accidentally deleted one of my drives that is part of a drive pool. When I got windows up and running that drive was no longer available under windows explorer. I went into disk manager where the only option was to "make a new drive" now that drive shows up as empty. I reinstalled stable bit, upon reconstruction of the pool I only have 3 drives in the pool. The forth drive now has no files on it. I am looking for a way to get the pool back. There are 10+ years of pics on this drive so formatting is not an option.

Did you have duplication set (ot better, a real backup)?

If not, I guess you need to look for some file recovery software. Don't do anything else with that drive.

You might try https://www.easeus.com/datarecoverywizard/recover-formatted-partition.htm for instance. I have no experience with such issues.

When you say "deleted" the drive, what do you mean exactly? Deleted how, and where?
