  1. How to access my dead NAS disk


    I have a nas that died but I need access the files from it. Windows doesn't naturally see it when I plug the disk in as it's a Linux file system. Is there an easy way to get access to this? I know I can boot to Ubuntu.

    I tried reclaim me and it does see my files but I can't afford £70 license cost.

    I have also booted to Ubuntu and plugged the disk in and it's not plug n play and I'm not confident Enough to navigate my to find it.

    So any help will be appreciated.

  2. Missing NAS Disk access

    I am running Windows 10, latest update. Before the latest update, under "network" the listing of all my NAS disks were there. Now the only listing is just for my PC. When I try to map a drive, the only results for 'browse' is the aforementioned computer
    name. If I enter the ip address, I can get the drive letter assigned but the name is the IP address rather than the name of the device and it shows up as an attached drive but still does not show up under 'Network'. The router shows all the NAS disks as attached
    devices but

    Windows does not see them. After 6 hours talking with Level 2 support, the answer they gave me is that they do not solve network problems and I need to contact the router (Netgear) manufacturer. It seems to me that it is a Windows problem since the only change
    was the update. I have re-installed the OS but not changed the symptoms.

  3. Missing NAS Disk access

    Hello Jeff,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Please answer the below questions:

    • How is the NAS connected to the computer?
    • Is it through Homegroup or LAN?

    Please try the following methods and check if that resolves the issue:

    Method 1:
    Run the Network Adapter Troubleshooter

    This troubleshooter is an automated Windows10 inbuilt tool which finds and fixes the common issues with the Network Adapter Settings on the computer. It also checks if the network adapter drivers are up to date or not. It may
    also provide you some clue about the hardware failures happening to the Network Adapter. Perform these steps to run this tool and check if that helps.

    • Press “Windows Logo” + “W” keys from the keyboard.
    • Type “Troubleshooting” in the search bar and press “Enter”.
    • In the “Troubleshooting” window, click on “View All” on the left pane.
    • Click on “Network Adapter”.
    • Click on “Advanced” and then click on “Run as Administrator”.
    • Click “Next” and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the troubleshooting process.

    Once after running the troubleshooters, check troubleshooting reports and let’s know the details. You may also try out the suggestions given by the troubleshooter and check if that helps.

    You may also try uninstalling and reinstalling the latest Network Card Drivers from the computer/network card manufacturer’s website and check the status of the issue.

    Method 2: Uninstall and Reinstall the Network Card Drivers.

    Step 1: Uninstall the Network Adapter Drivers

    • Press “Windows Logo” + “X” keys on the keyboard.
    • Click on “Device Manager” from that list.
    • Search for the Network Adapter from the device list, right click on it and then select “Uninstall”. On the un-installation window, if you have an option: “Delete the driver software for this device” you may select that and then
      remove the corrupted drivers from the computer.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete it and the restart the computer if prompted.
    After the restart, please go ahead with the next steps to install the latest drivers and check if that resolves the issue.

    Update Driver Software from the Manufacturer’s website:

    Step 2: Go to the Computer or Network Card manufacturer’s website and search for the latest Windows 10 drivers available for the Network Card model and then install it by following the instructions
    given in the website.
