I have a Maxtor Shared Storage Drive (MSS) which is a NAS connected to my wired Ethernet network. And I can no longer access the info on it and there are some files I need from it. I think that the hard drive may have been corrrupted. I pulled the hard drive out of the case and it spun up. The hard drive is a 200 GB IDE Maxtor. I don't know what OS the Maxtor Shared Storage drive uses (I think it's a Linux varient) or the file system but I know it isn't FAT or NTFS. Does anyone know what file system the MSS uses and a program that can access it? Thanks.

The Maxtor Shared Storage Drive doesn't incorporate it's own OS, you access it through the Windows OS installed on your PC.

The drive itself is supplied ready-formatted to the FAT32 filing system so it can still be accessed through Windows XP FAT32 installations where required.

I don't know where you got the bullsh*t info about it incorporating a variant of Linux and not being FAT or NTFS.
