I recently deleted some files from a D-Link NAS DNS-323. It's a dual drive NAS and it was set up in a RAID 1 setup.
Since all the 'undelete' utilities I tried to use are unable to detect mounted NAS drives, I decided to try and connect the disk drive through a SATA->USB2 external enclosure.
Unfortunately, this is not working as planned either. While the disk shows up in the device manager (listed as 'ST332062 0AS USB Device'), it does not have a drive letter assigned, nor does it show up under 'My Computer'.
I have three questions:
1) Is there a utility that can undelete files directly from a NAS?
2) Can I read a hard drive that is formatted by the D-Link NAS DNS-323 in an external enclosure or does this format prevent it from being detected as a normal external drive.
3) Is there any other was I could recover the files.
The files I deleted are pictures that I just recently added to the NAS, so they were not backed up yet.
Thanks for your help.
PS: I am running Windows XP.
