Haven't tried R-linux but vmware player with Debian as explained here, vmware Debian . Debian found the disks but could not read them.

Perhaps that will become more clear after we figure out your disk health.

No Windows can't see the disks.
I ran som test with Seagate tools, short test is ok but long test failed. I will run some more tests.
It doesn't look good if both disks failes. No backup of data :(
