There are several ways you can access a Mac HDD from Windows PC. If you have a Mac and a PC you can activate the File Sharing in System Preferences on your Mac and you are ready to go. The Mac should appear under network. You can make the process easier by mapping the network drive.
If you don’t have access to a Mac but want to connect to a HFS+ formatted HDD, there are two possibilities.
- Read only access
- Read and write access
Download the HFSExplorer from catacombae. To mount the HFS+ partition you should select the “Run HFSExplorer in Administrator mode”. As mentioned above this tool can only read.
MacDrive7(MacDrive 8 is coming soon) is a commercial software that can both read and write a HFS+ formatted HDD. You can download a trial version from their website.
