The 2200 and 1100 are the only Snaps that have the OS on the HD. All others are in flash ram.

The SnapOS file structure can ONLY BE READ BY A SNAP OS UNIT. NO LINUX OR WINDOWS. Fact, Windows will destroy the data if it trys to mount it, installed in a PC.

With yours units having the OS on the HD the flashram units can not be used.

If you contact Snap-tech Douglas he should be able to read the data off for you, for a small fee. He is in the HD recovery business. So by chance the HD are damage he can still help.
