Reading FlexRAID disk on Windows

Can anyone tell me if there is a piece of software for windows that can read/recover data from a FlexRAID disk?

Someone posted a very interesting article about a piece of Linux software (R-Linux?) but alas, I am not Linux smart and need to recover contents from a FlexRAID disk, due to a firmware upgrade supervising stuff-up, my NAS is now RAIDX.

Any help gratefully appreciated.

  • I don't know what happened, it was the second upgrade that I have done, and this time I set it going before heading away. I got a message to say that the RAID-X disk needed re-syncing. Before the upgrade I was rinning FlexRAID. No Idea why it would change?

    Nas is apparently a v1 ReadyNAS Duo RND2000.

    I have two new disks to get the NAS going on RAID-X, but want to get my data off from the FlexRAID disk.
  • I am posting this as a separate question, as I am now looking for a piece of windows software to try to read a FlexRAID disk, does anyone know if this exists?

    As StephenB says the origins of the problems are in the other thread.

    Thanks in advance.
  • "Linux Reader" - Sounds perfect, downloading now. Thanks for all your help.

    BTW you might want to update your profile to say "duo".

    Noted and changed, thanks didn't spot that.
