Thanks! unfortunately the DiskInternals Linux Reader freeware is not....you spend hours trying to recover video files and then find out in order to get them back you have to pay.

Yeah, you can try some third party's applications.

EXT 4 file system: https://www.howtogeek.com/112888/3-ways ... m-windows/

Btrfs: https://www.paragon-software.com/us/hom ... s-windows/

By the way, such third party application may work or not, we are not so sure, it depends.
And if you drives have been configed with RAID like RAID 0, RAID 5, or RAID 6, then that may not able to work.
