If you do get e.g. a 314, our support should be able to help you recover your data, but you would need:
1. One disk (not from your array) to put in the ReadyNAS
2. Somewhere to backup the data to
3. Follow instructions and not put your disks from your NV+ into the ReadyNAS till prompted
4. After backing up the data, do a factory reset then restore data from backup.
If you get e.g. a 314 and one disk to put in the 314 you could verify the NAS can see the data on your backup disk and restore from that if that is all you need. As StephenB said EXT filesystems wouldn't be recognised by Windows (unless of course you installed drivers to be able to read it).
