Access Mac drives from Windows
Reading and writing to a Mac formatted drive from Windows couldn’t be any easier than selecting the samba file sharing option in Leopard. This works great if you have 2 physical computers but what if you only have a Mac running Boot Camp? Since Leopard isn’t running getting to that document on the Mac partition from Windows would be difficult unless you installed MacDrive.
Once installed, Windows Explorer is able to mount the Mac drives right along side your standard Windows formatted drives. You are free to access them like any other drive.
If you’re worried that you may accidentally delete files off your Mac partition just tick the option to mount the drives in “read only” mode, thus preventing any accidents. MacDrive’s options can be access by double clicking it’s icon in the system tray. But once you have tailored it to your work flow you’ll rarely have a need to access the options.
