arcaina Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I messed up my bosses Msi Wind u100, it had a OS X 10.5.8 partition as well as xp.I installed Windows 7 over xp, and now he cannot boot into OSX and I cannot access his files, so does anyone know how to access files on an unmounted OSX partition using windows 7? If you know how to help me with the boot issue I am having the topic is here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=274483 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/274503-how-can-i-access-mac-partition-on-windows/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markrtoon Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 There are 2 apps that I know of right off the top of my head. The first is HFSExplorer, it's simpler, and will allow you to view and copy files from your Mac Partiton over to Windows. http://www.catacombae.org/hfsx.html And second is MacDrive, google for it. It's more advanced, and allows you to copy files to, and edit files on your Mac Partition, basically reading and writing.

arcaina Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Ok, I just tried both of them and they don't work. The reason is the partition is unmounted I bet, any other ideas? This is what disk management says about the disk with the partition: The third is the mac partition.

kosakgroove Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Bro, why dont you use a Linux USB, boot it up, backup your files externally, and do a clean Mac OS X install?
