hi all,
i should tell you first the background i guess.
A few weeks ago i did a BIOS update on my Asus Z 170 D Motherboard from version 1702 to 2202. After that and a reboot my RAID 0 ( which was also my boot drive ) was displayed as failed. One of the two Samsung 950 Pro NVMe M.2 SSDs ( 256 GB each ) was displayed as Non-Member disk. So i did a a lot of research and found a really good guide on this site: http://blog.quindorian.org/2013/07/repa ... rted.html/ A how to repair guide for a similar problem ( similar because in this case the RAID 0 was not the Boot Volume )
But after talking to Quindor ( the nice guy which created that Blog and the How to ) i was confident that this guide would also work in my case. In theory.
First i bought a new HDD to install Windows and Testdisk on it. Then i followed the steps and re created the RAID 0 in the UEFI of my Motherboard and booted to my Windows on the HDD to use Testdisk. But here there was a difference between the Guide from Quindor and what was displayed on testdisk at my screen.
After that i guess i did some stupid things in testdisk and now i`m totally afraid that i have lost and destroyed my Partitions so, if somebody could maybe advice me what to do i would highly appreciate it.
here are some screenshots.

Its the PhysicalDrive1 and/ or Drive D: with 512 GB ( 511 GB) / 476 GiB
If you have Questions on what exactly i did in Testdisk, please don`t hesitate to ask. But i guess anybody who knows how Testdisk works will quickly recognize what happen and how to solve it.
Regards
