Ok here is the deal. I had a DNS-323 and the Ethernet connector blew out. I bought a new one and it doesn't recognize the drive I had in it before. I can't access the data in my Windows PC since it formatted in Linux format EXT2. I know the drive is still good because my Windows system see the drive and ask me to format it. Is there a way for me to make the drive work without reformatting the drive. It has over 500GB of movies and music I have collected through out the years, since the NAS was used as a media server and not a backup server. I would hate to loose all that data. Please any help would be great. Of course if I am SOL I guess that is just life  :(.
