I have WinHex 10.54 (licensed). I would like to use its Disk Editor to recover deleted files on my Network Attached Storage device. It is a Buffalo Link Station, which I have mapped as logic drive "z:" on my Windows Me machine. However, when I click "Disk Editor", it doesn't show the z: drive.

It does show drives a: through f:, which include a floppy drive, a hard drive, two optical drives, and a removable USB memory stick.

I think the Link Station is probably running Linux, so I wouldn't expect all the directory browsing and interpretation tools to work, but I was hoping I could at least hex edit the disk.

Is there a way?

Thank you.

Remote network drives cannot be opened at the sector level, sorry.

Are you aware of the existence of any tools (either from X-Ways or another company) that provide this feature?
