Chrysaor Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Hello-- MacDrive 8 Beta is now available for download. Read more about the MacDrive 8 Beta http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive8/ MacDrive has become a must-have for anyone needing to share files on Mac disks with Windows users. With MacDrive you can read and write to any Mac disk-including the Mac partition on a Boot Camp Mac, directly from Windows. MacDrive adds to its core functionality, and brings new features to cross-platform computers. Here is what's new in MacDrive 8: * Windows 7 compatibility Windows 7 is nearing the finish line and MacDrive 8 has been built to work with both 64-bit and 32-bit Windows 7, Vista and XP. Windows 7 is still a work in progress, so we will continue to update Mac Drive to give you the best user experience possible. * Windows 7 Libraries Windows 7 can aggregate content from multiple locations. For example, if you have photos in a "My Pictures" folder, on your desktop and in a "Travel" folder Windows 7 can combine all of the photos into one "Pictures" folder. MacDrive 8 adds to this powerful feature by automatically adding content from the Mac partition on a Boot Camp Mac to your Windows 7 libraries. * Apple Time Machine Apple's amazing Time Machine backup file sets can now be accessed like any other Mac file direct from Windows. Using MacDrive, you are able to browse the backed up files and copy the contents to your PC. * Mac CD/DVD burning Creating Mac CDs and DVDs is even better in MacDrive 8. From your Windows PC, you can create Mac CD, DVD, Blu-Ray, Dual Layer DVD, and more. All from your Windows PC. * Support for large disks Are you using a G Technology G-RAID 3 or LaCie Big Disk Quadra? If so, MacDrive 8 has added robust support for any large disks over 2TB. The MacDrive 8 Beta will only work with Windows 7. The final release of MacDrive 8, which will be released later this summer, will work with Windows 7, Vista and XP.

errandwolfe Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Great news, have been wanting so give Windows 7 a serious look but had no access to all my data on HFS drives. Now I can actually put some time into evaluating it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hacbookpro Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I suggest for you to install the Apple HFS driver. Macdrive 8 corrupted my iMac's drive, so I suggest you not use the beta unless you are prepared to lose some data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poco Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 The Apple HFS driver is only able to read the OSX partition not write to it. iPoco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
