Storage Spaces Recovery after Partition Table failure?

Hello everyone.

Following problem occured: I have at home a Storage Spaces setup with 4 Harddrives, 2x 2TB WD and 2x 3TB Drives. Yesterday I started copying an archive from one virtual harddrive to another. This worked perfectly fine and today the process finished.

All of a sudden, a pop-up of windows appeared which said that there were problems with some harddrives, and windows must restart to resolve those problems. So I restarted the computer. After the reboot, two harddrives were shown missing in the pool (the 2x 3TB HDD's). After starting up disk-management I found both harddrives still connected to the computer, but now both with a capacity of only 746.52GB's each. When clicking on one of the drives, windows wants to re-initialize the drives, which i did not do so far.

It seems that Windows *destroyed* the partition tables of both harddrives at the same time, which means that my data (which all was put on VHD's on parity-mode) is not accessible anymore.

Do you guys have any idea of how to restore the drives? I have downloaded ReclaiMe Storage Spaces, but the license-costs of 299.-$ are insane. The drives did not contain any important data, some backups of my system and an archive with movies etc.
At the moment, R-Studio is scanning one drive. As I know this is one of the only tools which is able to read ReFS-formatted drives.

I am running Storage Spaces on Windows 8 64bit.

For any suggestions I would be very thankfull!
