Yesterday, my nas died on me, actually it didn't, I just couldn't connect to it any more and this thing didn't have a USB port only ethernet.

So I decided to get the disk out and mount it in my desktop. Since it was Sata that was easy. But I hit a little snag and that is that it was formatted in ext3 and windows does not read ext3

So I googled and found Linux reader 1.1 from diskinternals you find it in the freeware section. Yes freeware. It's very small and it installs in seconds.

After which it starts.

And now I have one extra 250GB drive in my desktop.

And like Ted says, Backups are for sissies.
