Hi again, and thank you for your replies.
Today after work, i started with the first tip of d/l:ing linux-reader.
It turns out that it could not access the partitions of the hard drive which i need to rescue data from. I only got red angry error messages.
I also rebooted the NAS to see if i could logon to the web gui, but now it's even worse then yesterday. Now, it is like before i did the factory reset. After logging in i get nothing, just a blank page which never stops loading.
I then tried to boot Lubuntu from an usb stick to see if i could access the NAS hdd that way. Sadly, the result was the same as in windows. Lubuntu can not list or mount the drive. If i start Gparted though, i can see that Lubuntu does recognise that the drive is there. However, it can not determine the file system of the disk, see screenshot below.

I've kept my hopes up pretty good until now. I work as an IT tech / CIO and have been through similar struggles before, but as long as the disk is OK the data is usually never lost. But now im starting to run out of ideas and start to get a little nervous about all the pictures and movies of family memories that i had stored on the NAS.
Any ideas on how to rescue the data is more then welcome.
As for the NAS, i guess it's toast? Or what do you think?
