Hi

We are moving a SATA drive from a D-Link DNS-321 LAN box to an external HD box. This is PC, Windows 7.

The drive shows up as USB to ATA Bridge, we can see it but cannot access it.

We right clicked "My Computer" and went to disk management.

The only option when we click the drive everything is nulled except "Delete Volume" which is not an option as the drive has data we need.

best to probably mount that drive on a linux box... that device doesn't use ntfs, it uses ext2, that's why it doesn't work on windows...

google some tool that will let you read ext2 drives on windows, and then with some luck you will be able to access the data on it...

Thank you, Woj. I am going to give that a try. I found a decent forum overclock.net you might find useful. I didn't find anything there for this so will try your advice first. D-Link has left us less than happy with the overall performance of their software.
