No, it is Linux.

I just broke the RAID 1 array in my NAS into JBOD so that I could increase 
it's size to 2 TB from 1 TB.

All this CoCo work has filled it up with captured DTV.

Now if one of the disks fails, even a little, I must throw away 1 TB of DTV 
and or Windows backups (which I have not used any part of for over a 
decade).

The NAS uses the free Linux software and there is no capability of 
recovering now. Before as it was RAID 1 I could replace the disk and recover 
everything. Previous Seagate product was sent to Mexico for replacement 
three times before Seagate took pity on me and upgraded to a better product. 
A 1" fan for two drives in a box that was as tight as it could have been 
made. :-II

If it really was NTFS then I could mount the drive in one of my desktop 
machines and use lots of programs to recover.

With EXT3 I am screwed.

Yes there is a Windows program that I heard about, but that would mean 
learning much more about Linux than I want to.

It took four burning of CDs to find one Linux version that actually worked 
like Partition Magic which I purchased twice before MS outlawed it.

The software used in the NAS I have downloaded but I cannot look at it 
because the Linux programmers have prevented Windows programmers looking at 
it by naming the files with a special character that prevents unzipping (Or 
whatever) on Windows.

Yes, Linux is a swear work in this house.

If a Linux programmer detects Windows running it will erase the HDD, or so I 
am told that there is a CD out there that will do so. *eg*
