BASICALLY.

I have one of them Lacie mini network drives which has a 500gb hard drive and allows the whole network to use it.

One day it stopped working so instead of sending 300gb~ of filthy porno and music to LaCie I decided to fix it myself, after taking off the warranty stickers and screws I took the guts of the LaCie drive out only to find its just a SATA hard disk and some circuitry, now I've mounted this into my workstation but TestDisk shows the Filesystem as XFS which is a Linux thing, does anyone know if I can mount it from Windows?

My only other option is to install Linux into a VMware instance and mount it then copy the files over to one of my other disks, but surely theres an Easier Way?

Or just boot from a Linux live CD and chuck the data over to an NFS share...
