Been there, done that when an Infrant ReadyNAS went belly up due to 
inadequate cooling of the power supply and Netgear kept giving me the 
runaround to avoid honoring the warranty. But, it's not actually all that 
bad, Stephen. I booted my notebook from an Ubuntu Live CD, plopped the 
drives one-by-one into an external BlacX SATA to USB adapter, and copied the 
files over the LAN to my Windows desktop. It took a few hours, but it was 
easy enough.

If you don't have two computers, you can even use an external USB drive as 
the destination or burn the files onto a bunch of DVDs or a pile of CDs.

If push comes to shove, there is also free software that lets you read 
EXT2/EXT3 file systems directly from Windows.
