Today I created a new RAID 0 virtual drive using the RAID setup wizard of my lifecycle controller for my two new 4TB SAS dell hardrives.

Unfortunately, I misread the warning saying that creating this virtual drive would delete all other virtual drives.

Therefore my 2x512GB RAID 1 that came with the T320 poweredge server got deleted. I realise now I should have used the advanced BIOS configuration utility to add a new drive instead of the wizard, unfortunately it's too late.

The data erased is not critical, but would be very handy to have, I since then build another RAID 1 drive with those disks using the default settings, but have not initialized it.

I was wandering if I could try to recover the data with a recovering tool. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your time.

The recovery of data is possible if you didn't put any data on new created RAID 0. Otherwise part of the data or whole data can be overwritten. Previous RAID 1 configuration was mirror and you can attach one of the drives to another computer and run data recovery scavenge utility. There are several of them.

  • Greetings, actually I just reinstalled windows 10 and it automatically detected the deleted partition, I was able to recover all data.
