URGENT information required.
Hello I have a 2 HDD bay Buffalo NAS(LinkStation LS220D) in RAID 1 with where one HDD failed for the RAID array. I think it uses XFS for filesystems.
I purchased an other disk and placed it in the NAS for one reason or other it didn't rebuild. I attempted to try again and pulled disk out of NAS placed it windows system and ran Diskpart clean on the disk. Turns out I ran the diskpart clean command on the wrong HDD. I ran diskpart clean on the one working HDD that was working fine.
How can I recover my data, Can I put get the files back to how they were, so that the files are in the same folder structure.
I tried a couple alternatives already but they don't support XFS.
If the folder structure is not recoverable should I just use photorec. Running this tool listed a few partitions but opening them showed something along the lines of "this file-system is unsupported".
I am using windows and I will leave photorec running overnight. If there is a better way to recover my files I would like to hear it. Please help me. Thanks.

Researching (see above) is what you should do first.

In addition to using Photorec you might try finding a recovery program that supports XFS - depending on the outcome of your research.
