Hi,

I have a Linkstation 250HD LAN drive that has just died. It will no longer be recognised on the network.

 

I have removed the internal drive & put it in a standard IDE enclosure.

 

The drive will not mount on Mac OS X 10.6.8,

 

The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer.
Initialize...   Ignore   Eject

 

but it is visible in my Disc Utility as 3 linux partitions.

 

I'm not sure how to proceed to recover data from this drive.... any ideas?

Well, after trying several different things I found a solution that works.

 

You can mount the Linux formated Linkstation drive using "Mac Fuse" & the "fuse-ext2" extension.
