I had a Lacie single disk (500gb) nas but for the last few days I have not been able to contact it. I have rebooted it several time via turning it on and off but that made no difference, there is a blue light that come on and occasionally flickers (which is normal). I have tried to access via Linux and Windows, windows has Lacie disk manager program but that claims there are no disks.

I have done an ipscan and can account for all the IP's addresses listed, none of the Nas, (both window and linux picked it up by device name and I cant remember the IP address I set it to). My main question is what file system do those device normally run. I was thinking about removing the hard disk and putting it in a USB disk reader and hopefully recovering some or all of my data (making the assumption that it is the Motherboard as such that had died and not the disk).

I do have a backup but not a current one, in my defence the USB hard disk I was backing up to died and I have been saving to buy a new nas (as I am currently using 400gb of the 500gb nas disk) and a new usb hard disk to back it up to.

Any suggestion or comment appreciated, except those that extract the urine ;)
