I have two disks used to set as Raid 0, and another disk as ACHI . Raid 0 as system, ACHI as documents and backup

I was trying to delete Raid 0 and re-install tonight.

I accidentally set raid 0 as Raid 5, and created a 50G partition. Normally, I will be noticed to chose member disks at this time, but not today. After that, I realized that my third disk became a member of Raid 5, and all data were gone. Is there any way I can undo and get my data back from my third disk? I haven't write anything, or set member disk to non-raid yet. Is there any software I should try? Thanks.

My system
Gigabyte P35-D3R
Intel Sata controller

remove the data drive, go find another computer, go install some file recovery software on that computer. Once its properly installed, plug in the data hd. run data recovery on the hd, whatever u can get is whatever u can get.

If the data is worth a lot, and i mean a lot, you can inquire about a professional recovery solution. They can run from hundreds to thousands of dollars. Even then there is no guarentee that your data can be recovered.

thank you. My question is, the content disk is still member disk, I plan to use current computer to fix the problem. Should I set it to non raid disk? Or should I just connect it to a USB adpater ?

Thanks

BTW, since it is still a member disk, it can't be read by other OS now.
