Help!! I recently set up a new host server for home as well as my test environment use. 4 separate SATA disks only. My file server VM resided on one of the disk (750GB), with a second .vmdk backup disk on another disk (2TB). Yesterday the SATA disk with the system disk died, but since the backup SATA disk with the backup .vmdk was there, I was fine. Crap happened after, when I opened the case to check and pull out the bad disk, I accidentally pulled some SATA cables but then plugged them back in no knowing that I plugged in the wrong sequence. After booted up, now even the 2TB disk showed inaccessible. In a panic mode, I checked the disk was still visible, so I did the stupid thing of re-adding it back without thinking. The moment I hit enter and remembered that I would refomat the disk, but it was too late.
Now I have dead disk, and a re-formatted disk, and all my data are on these drives. My other servers are safe, just all my family's data are now gone.
Much appreciated if anyone can help in this. Is there a way to unformat it? Other than the stupid reformat, I haven't put anything there.
Thanks!!!
