This is a data recovery situation. You may wish to contact support for assistance but there would be costs involved.

When I try to roll back to xraid mode i had a message about extended volume and had 2 new icons on volume tab
On my knowledge at that moment i didn't know how are redistributed all data after sync on all 4 disks. And i hot plug out disk 3 and 4
After i removed Disk 4 the array was only without redundancy but after i unplug disk 3 the raid become dead.
I try to reinsert Both disks, Reboot, Restart, etc. but without any positive results.
I didn't deleted anything or write on this volume in this period so think there is still a chance to rebuild my raid.
I see some Linux articles on internet but i am not very good to read and interpret all the parameters to be able to force reconstruct the raid
And for that reason I need some assistance
Thanks

If you can connect all the disks to a Windows PC (using either SATA or a USB adapter/dock), then you could also try ReclaiMe software.
