Back in 2009, my son provided me a FreeNAS system in a server (used Dell computer) separate from the regular computer - 'viewed' via network, which worked well up until a month ago. Not computer savvy, I assume that the FreeNAS drives could be installed in a Windows-based setup, which did not accept. Believing that the Windows-based unit would function, I disassembled the FreeNAS system and I am attempting to reassemble it - with no successful results. Today, the network location 'Z' drive is represented under (Windows-based) Explorer but has a red X through it.
I do not have my company (1 person sales) files backed up - only what is on the FreeNAS unit.
My interest is to recover the files from the FreeNAS server drives.
Question: Can the FreeNAS drives be installed in a working FreeNAS system for backup purposes - if I find someone willing to assist?
I also found software KNOPPIX 5.1.1. - which may / may not be beneficial.
I can open the Dell and identify the hardware - if so helpful.
Looking for comments / direction to proceed.
In advance - thank you!
