Recovering the data from a failed WD My Book NAS drive

Recovering the data from a failed WD My Book NAS drive My Western Digital 500GB NAS drive (which is my main backup device) has recently broken. Windows can no longer use it as a network drive (using Map Network Drive), and the web-based control panel is INCREDIBLY sluggish, taking as much as 5 minutes to load a single page.

"the Western Digital MyBook NAS drive has a reset button (the tiny hole between the power connector and the ethernet port). this will reset all settings to facory default. run the wizard to reconfigure the drive to your requirements.

if this doesn't help, as mentioned previously, remove the SATA drive from the enclosure and connect it to the sata port of your computer or any USB > SATA adapter/enclosure."
