   Just a guess, but I think Windows can not read a thing it thinks it's    
   superior to.  Another Linux machine... Ya... I guess if you have    
   privileges on the host machine, and plug in a USB/eSATA/1394/... Heck, you    
   could just as well mount an IDE/SCSI/whatever and read everything but a    
   shadowed password. Unless you encrypted the drive/partition, but I have    
   zero experience on most of that stuff....      
      
   BTW, wasn't it you that was planning a RAID mirror as a backup plan? I    
   since read that the mirror will also record malaware and operator errors    
   faithfully. Rebuilding from an old mirrored drive can be successful but as    
   always, it depends on the vintage of the "image".
