For some reason, fdisk create wrong partition offset (thanks to frostschutz). And testdisk couldn't found anything what I need with [Intel] and not created with vista options (he found only sda2 partition). When I put Yes for him question about vista, he was find needed partition with Deep search. They was cannot be restored without deleting sda2 and sda4. ...

I would first try to make a copy of the disk, or of partitions, with dd. It can be done without mounting. So I no longer worry with hardware once the content has been preserved, and I am not dependent on file system problems while I preserve it. See for example Disk Cloning.
But then I have no experience with Windows, and I have no idea concerning the ...

ZFS is definitely a file system protected against corruption by design and possibly the only one. However, I'm not sure about the availability of ZFS implementations (either fuse based or native) for uClinux based platforms.

Have a look at this question. I assume that is familiar to your problem.
Recreating and even syncing a RAID-1 should not destroy data. Obviously the MD device starts at another offset now. Thus where mount looks for a superblock there is data. This can have happened in at least two ways:
You (or rather: the default setting) have created the new array with ...

Most command line commands take a space separated list of files or folders as input. * means everything, so running rm * /exam means delete everything in the current folder and then delete /exam. In other words, you have deleted all files (not folders) from your Desktop. The only thing you can do is to try recover them using such tools as suggested by @slm.

Some setups stash deleted files away, check if that is your case (I doubt it). Otherwise, write it up to learning that Unix does exactly as told, it doesn't try to second guess you. Ever.

Depending on which directory you were in when you ran that command you most likely deleted the files that were there as well. There are a couple of tools that I've used in the past but I think you might be out of luck.
Depending on the types of data one of 2 programs may help.
ext3grep (general)
PhotoRec (images & media files, as well as many other ...

That depends on the OS you are running.
If it is Solaris 10 and older, you can fix all the owner issues affecting files and directories belonging to a package with the following command:
pkgchk -f
With Solaris 11, that would be:
pkg fix
I believe AIX has a similar package fix command.
If you run a rpm based OS (Red Hat, Fedora and the likes), you ...

There is no way to change this back without reverting to your backup as the system does not keep track of revision of ownership.
Best is to make a backup now, so any further changes can be rolled back.
Reinstalling the packages on your system probably resolves most of the ownership problems. On Debian/Ubuntu I would do:
apt-get install --reinstall ...

I'm afraid that the only solution you have is to compare with another installation of the same distribution and reset the owners correctly.
