Forum Storage : NAS/RAID Recover data lacie nas hard drive

Word :    Username :           
 

Hello,
My LaCie Mini NAS Gigabit drive broke down. I replaced the power supply but to no avail. I removed the Hard Drive and directly placed it to a Windows computer and it read "BootMgr missing". I know the Hard drive is fine my question is since this is a single Hard Drive (no RAID), if I purchase a USB enclosure would a ubuntu linux computer access my files to copy elsewhere?

Register or log in to remove.

Hook it up as a slave drive.
You probably don't need an enclosure if all you want to do is copy files.

With an enclosure Ubuntu would be able to read FAT32, for NTFS you need to install a driver.

If you have trouble identifying the partition format, use GParted LiveCD to determine the file system.
