Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

Hi, My hard drive if failing after i accidentally formatted my WD 2TB NAS. I managed to bring the device back online but all that can be seen is 1.82GB of Linux partition, the rest of the user WD Mybook partition about 1861.2 GB is missing. All i can see is unallocated space. I tried to use EaseUS data recovery for RAID but it keeps asking for a missing disk partition. UFSexplorer only sees the linux and cannot be used to view unallocated space.
My question is,
1. how can i undelete the partition from unallocated space?
2. if it cannot be done, then is there a utility to recover RAW format?
Also, I would much appreciate if there's a third solution (without sending drive to a professional that is) that can be suggested.
Best regards
jos

You need to reconstruct array from both drives virtualy (out of the NAS) , and scan it after .
This is the way a bit more complicated to do this at home.

Thank you both for replies.
+ Dealing with encrytion (mybook).
I was not aware of encryption on mybook. What software should I try at home to deal with this drive??

Plus, this puzzles me as this is only a single drive in the network attached storage unless, software is counting partition lost under allocation as the second drive, in which case i m back to the same problem again.

As this disk is mounted as network attached, it is not possible to access any areas outside of a designated share. This is why it should be removed from the enclosure. Also it likely has some file-system that needs specialist software to read. Additionally you need to access it through a bridge that corresponds to the same encryption algorithm as the NAS enclosure.
Dr Kiev is right, this is not so simple to do at home.
