Diskpart - 'Cleaned' wrong disk!
Posted: 22 May 2024, 03:15
I was troubleshooting one of my drives and I accidentally 'cleaned' the wrong drive. The drive I cleaned had all my data (photos/documents/etc.). This is in a RAID 1.
These are the steps I performed to clean it. I have not written any data back on to it.
Diskpart > list disk
Diskpart > select disk
Diskpart > Clean
Diskpart > Create Partition Primary Align=1024
Diskpart > Format Quick FS=NTFS
Diskpart > List Partition
Diskpart > Active
Diskpart > Exit
Reboot the computer
I've never used TestDisk and I'm looking for some guidance as to what steps I should take to try and recover the partition if possible.
