it’s a piece of junk dude.   here is a patch to fix it. 

use putty and edit this file /var/oxsemi/network-settings

change

hostname=MyBookWorld
network_mode=static       this
revert_to_dhcp=no
static_dns1=192.168.1.xxx  fill in your ip
static_dns2=
static_dns3=
static_gw=192.168.1.xxx  fill in your ip
static_ip=192.168.1.xx fill in your ip.

You can do it by the gui but it wont work.  use the drives for another computer. 

if that works so you can get your info off great if not then it’s your nic card hardware settings.
