It's A Digital Disease!

Hi folks - my old NAS box (Netgear Stora MS2000) appears to have died. Long story but, despite performing a factory reset, I can ping it but it won't respond to anything else other than to immediately refuse credentials.

So, I'm left with a mirrored RAID array of two XFS (I believe) drives that I need to be able to access in Windows. Until I sort out a replacement NAS, I figure I'll get a third NTFS drive and copy the contents over, but can anyone suggest the best way to go about this? I've got a spare PC that I could install Linux on and plug them into, but my Linux experience is minimal and I'm a bit nervous about corrupting my data by diving in feet first.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
