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".
