My DNS-323 just died and won’t power up. If I press and hold the power button, the two small drive lights both just flash dimly. I’m assuming that the circuit board has simply died and was hoping that I could find a replacement part so I can fix it myself. If not, can someone tell me if I can simply remove the drives and mount them in a standard desktop tower to retrieve the files on them. Are they stored in standard Windows format?
Windows cannot read the Linux partition. You will need a Linux reader/writer of some kind
Windows is not a format. You should be able to remove and place it inside a Windows PC. Windows is designed to be flexible, and it is. You could also get a SATA dock, to make the job easy.
if you put the drives in as slave storage, you should be able to read the data on the drive. i connect them via a “Toaster” personally. which essentially turns hard drives into flash drives.
