Recovering a Hard Disk

Hi, I did something very stupid.

I had My DNS-323 working with one hard drive working fine for more than a year, I never noticed it was on Bay-2. One day I decided to install another drive and I inserted it, on Bay 1. When I turned it on again the interface said: "New hard drive detected, format it (original disk will not be touch)" or something similar. I press yes and original drive in Bay 2 was then formatted. Well that is my stupid story but now, the disk is with somebody who is trying to recover the data. They can read the files but without original folder structure, and some files are corrupted having extra data at the end of the file.

I would like to know if there is some special technical information would be important they to know and maybe help to recover the information in its original structure. I have read the filesystem is EXT2/3. Is there anything else you would consider important?

Re: Recovering a Hard Disk

You might want to try spin right. Its 90 bucks but I feel its worth it. There is a data recovery
mode. http://www.grc.com/sr/spinrite.htm

Good luck.

Re: Recovering a Hard Disk

As a long time SpinRite user, I seriously doubt that it's data recovery mode can be used to recover data from deleted files & formatted disks - it's designed for a different task - that of recovering data from "unreadable sectors".
