~Reading Mac Partition From Windows (i!i)

[Mebster]

I want to be able to view my HFS+ formatted OSX partition from Windows.

 

I know MacDrive is one solution and I have tried it after getting a version and it worked for a good while (over a month I think). But now for some reason it no longer does. I've tried everything. Uninstall and reinstall... over and over again. But nothing. The partition just doesn’t show up although MacDrive is installed.

 

Is there an alternative to MacDrive which does the same job and ideally uses an explorer type layout? What I mean by that is that it creates/displays actual drives in My Computer or anywhere which I can access without going into Programs and opening a program. Because I want to use it just like it was an NTFS partition. For example I want my Bitorrents being downloaded and saved directly there and so I need a directory to direct the downloads to.

 

Thanks all for any help.

When it wouldn't read the partition for me a complete removal, reboot, install of (I think about) version 6, reboot, install upate, reboot and it worked. Missing some of the reboots while updating and installing etc screwed it up for me.

MacDrive has a problem with a driver installed by DaemonTools 4. STPD or something. When you have this installed it won't work. I had a similar problem. Uninstalled the driver, then Daemon Tools and installed the 3.16 version. Now Macdrive works like a charm.

SPTDinst X86

 

This software is normally for installing the SPTD driver but it can be used as uninstall. To remove, start a command-console, execute "sptdinst_x86.exe remove" and it will uninstall.

Then uninstall Daemon tools and install Alcohol120% instead.

During Alcohol120% installation, it asks you to install a SPTD driver. Click NO!
