RND2000-200 Not listed in Compatibility list?

I just fired up that link, and it says HFS in the listing of files systems
That's where I got the H from I guess.......now I'll figure out what HFS is sooner or later....

Its a Mac filesystem.

Yep, magic chirpa. Just had a look at the link properly.

Now that's what my little brain had remembered, but thanks for filling in the blanks.

You reckon that's the best way, only way?
Need to maybe ask this in a different forum, backup maybe? Or not necessary...

I wondered what you meant "mac file system", with EXT3 being Linux

I'm a little rusty..

HFS is a Mac filesystem. EXT is a Linux filesystem.

Connect that Duo v1 disk to your Vista machine and load that software. It should let you get the data from that system.

Yep , I got it.
I gotta pencil this in over Christmas some time, along with the DIY.
Happy days

Thanks for helping me tonight Chirpa

If we don't speak sooner, then Merry Christmas an all.

You too! Good luck on the recovery.

I just got this gig going. Got some old vista machine that ain't right, with a cracked monitor from ebay....robbed. Looking for a refund.
Spent money on 2 newish V2's. But wish I'd gone for the newer models.

And I've just managed to rig everything up, and managed to be able to find and see the lost data on one of the old Nas drives, to only then to sit there and wonder......was it worth it?

God knows what life altering info I thought I'd have on there, but after spending quite a few quid on trying to save this crap......was it worth it..?
And the time it's gonna take sifting through this rubbish.
As I sit here again, losing a nights work again, I'm seriously thinking....F+ck it. Format the bloody lot and be done with it. Apart from the obvious data like photos, the rest is total crap.
Do we really hold on to such rubbish these days?
I've lived without this data for over a year, worrying about it too. This ain't business....it's just my saved rubbish, which I'll probably never look at again.....

Maybe my mate's right....he says "computers are shit, they're a waste of time". Obviously not a user.
Who knows...all I know is he ain't got this problem.

I hear ya. I used to have like 9TB of stuff, mostly rubbish. Once I trimmed the net-replaceable files, my core files are only under 1TB. So my NAS needs have shifted a lot.

Hi chirpa

I like your reply. It's good to know there's some sane people out there.
Those that can see the woods for the trees.
To navigate between real world needs and the twilight world of computer.

I stressed over this data loss for over a year, not having the time to remedy things.

This has caused me to really take a good look at this kinda behaviour. Whilst I am a computer user unlike my quoted friend, and we do need to be computer literate these days, but the question is to what extent?

If it ain't the Secret Service, money making machine and just plain business, then it's got to be scaled back.
Important documents, photos, paid for stuff ..... fine all good.
300 d/loaded films, that I'll never look at again and just store like some kind of moron. To boast to friends that "yes I do have that film", but I'll never bother to look at again, probably.

I'm guilty of being of a generation of Digital Hoarders.
I like tip tapping around on my computers, it's a hobby, challenges my little brain to get it whizzing this way and that.
But I've realised my mistakes here.
I've bought 2 V2's (don't ask, one came with 2 3TB drives), paid decent money for both. Wish I'd purchase the newer 100 range. Should've done my research before buying on a whim.
Gonna set them up as probably just basic backups.
Could've purchased an external 3TB hdd with backup software cheaper than it's internal counter part. Would've done. Could've bought 2, backup my backup, easy, done.

Enough ranting. Got to get to work to pay for this 2nd hand equipment (that's no doubt gonna give me more problems somewhere, wouldn't be Netgear otherwise).

Have a good New Year Everyone
Especially you Chirpa for helping with this conundrum.

man....I gotta get me one of those things called a Life......
