From past two weeks i've been unsuccessfully trying different things, just found this thread today and have already tried following: 1) RStudio, i've tried this recovery tool but i can't find any of my files on readynas hdd, is there specific process for it? 2) I've also tried acmtn debian vmware and have reached to stage where it says "block size is 16384" but it doesn't show anything after that. Where can i see the my readynas files/folders? Also is there a same process to mount my another usb hdd where i want to copy my readynas data? Plz help me i've zero knowledge of Linux :( Many thanks

As mentioned in the earlier posts, you need to have 2 x root terminal windows open:

Terminal 1 - to mount the filestructure of the ReadyNAS drive
Terminal 2 - to navigate around the ReadyNAS filestructure and copy required files (you may need to google some basic linux commands - its similar command line in Windows)

Once you get access to your files, could you help assist the rest of the reads of this thread by taking time to document your exact steps (any screenshots would also be fantastic) - this would be great input into eventually developing a guide for new users who's lost access to their data.
