How do I tell what system/data an external Profile drive may have/be?

[Sterling]

I have two (of four total) external profile drives that appear to come up into solid Ready status.

They don't boot into anything.

How do I tell if they have anything useful on them?
I might be interested in trying to preserve whatever is on them, but I have no idea how to do that.

Using BLU I get the following HD Stats, if this means anything...
Blocks 2600
Blocksize 214
Device No 0
Spare Count 20
Spares Allocated 1
Bad Blocks 1

What do you guys think?

The easiest way would be to use an ESProFile card, hook it up to the ProFile in "diagnostic mode", connect the ESProFile to a PC with an USB cable, and backup the entire content of the drive into a file on your PC: https://github.com/alexthecat123/ESProFile#c-backup-entire-drive .

Then use a hex editor to peek into the data and try to make sense of it; along with the binary gibberish, there will be a lot of readable text.
