Hello,

I have 3 physical disks merged into two volumes (D:\ and S:\) using dynamic disks as Spanned Volumes GPT.

I have made a mistake of changing volume letter from S:\ to T:\. Since then all phisical disks are unavailable. In Disk Manager status is "offline" and "invalid". Any attempt to launch Disk Director - throw exceptions - "LDM data is corrupt".
0x00950009+0x00360192+0x00109002

1. If i plug\unplug each phisical disk will it make them visible? Will i be able to restore all data by creating a dynamic disk again?

2. Can i change volume letter back and restore functionality?

3. If i understand correctly i can edit LDM database using HxD or Sector Inspector. What should i look for to change letter in LDM database?

4. Is there any other product except Disk Director that i can buy and use to solve it?

Important info - i used Acronis Disk Director to create this Dynamic Disk with GPT. On other computers or separately disks behave similarly - "invalid disk" or "LDM data corrupt". If i understand this correctly - Disk Director "binded" them in hardware level.

below is partiotions of all disk involved.

for anyone stumbled same problem - was able to solve my problem using another software - https://dmde.com/

With help of tech support and LDM parser(https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/761066/A-Cross-platform-Parser-of-the-Dynamic-Disks-Struc) i was able recreate JBOD array and restore ALL of my data.

The only downside - it was required to copy content to another disk rather than repairing existing instance.
