Hi All, not sure if this is in the correct forum but as its a NAS problem thought this was probably best.

I have a problem with my rather old Linksys NAS, NMH410. It stopped working through its normal webpage when Adobe Flash was discontinued but I could still see it as a network drive until last week on my old pc and mobile phone. The LCD screen has gone (likely the screen age) so I cant get into any settings but I was wondering if anyone knew how I could access the data on the HDD as its where I stored old photos and audio books?

I have tried connecting it to my PC, it sees it in diskmanager, but it seems its not formatted for use by a PC - any ideas how I can recover the data?

Cheers
 
Just giving ideas here, so do your research first.

From what I can see NMH410 uses ext3 for the drive format, can't be read in windows natively so you either need a linux distro or some sort of tool to read it.

EXT2Read seems to come up quite often but never used it.

sourceforge.net

Ext2Read

Download Ext2Read for free. Ext2Read is an explorer like utility to explore ext2/ext3/ext4 files. It now supports LVM2 and EXT4 extents.
sourceforge.net sourceforge.net

https://www.ext2fsd.com/ is another one

This is a perfect example of why you should have more than one back up though...

very true, normally I do have backups I just forgot about this lot and was going to transfer it all over to a portable hdd, just never got round to it...

Will take a look at the Ext2Read, thanks for the steer
 
wow, it kind of worked, partly - its read the HDD, showed all the files and a load of system files, but nothing in the folders I was after - possibly there is some security feature that wont let me see them but when I copied over the whole set of folders, they were empty
