Both your duo and your ultra will automatically wipe disks when you insert them. Also, the RAID mode used in the duo is different from the one used in the ultra. The OS stored on the ultra disks will not boot in the duo (and vice versa).
If you were to buy a new RN312, I believe Netgear would help you migrate data from your ultra disk. I'm not sure on whether that is part of normal warranty support or not - mdgm would know.
So there are 4 options potentially to recover data
(a) Pick up another ultra or pro model somewhere, and migrate your existing disk.
(b) Use a Linux boot CD in the windows PC (requires some experimentation)
(c) Use R-Studio in the Windows PC (requires some cash and some experimentation)
(d) Get a new NAS and have Netgear support migrate the data
