You might have a different super block on the disk from Buffalo.   You might
check your exact model (Is this a LinkStation) against the HowTo's from
Buffalo?

Knoppix works really well for restoring disks (every systems admin needs a
knoppix USB flash)

Buffalo's Wiki shows a procedure on how to restore data to a LinkStation
using Knoppix:
