HFS+ in Vista
 

MacDrive and HFSExplorer will both do what I want. Kinda

MacDrive is too expensive.
HFS Explorer is read only.

Is there a FREE driver for Vista/XP that will allow it to read AND WRITE TO a HFS+ (Journaled, Case Sensitive) partition?

If you can wait a few months for snow leopard, your wish will be answered.

Btw, please post in the relevant forum. This is not a guide or tutorial so why post it in the Genius Bar? Thread moved.

I'm using TransMac
http://www.asy.com/scrtm.htm

# Read and write Mac format disks, CDs, DVDs, high density floppies and disk images (dmg and sparseimage).
# Supports standard HFS (Mac OS Standard), HFS+ (Mac OS Extended) and HFSX (with case sensitive file names) volumes.
# Access Mac volumes on boot drive (like Boot Camp).
# Create, read and write Mac disk images (dmg and sparseimage).
# Compress and expand (convert to iso) dmg files.
# Built in burner software to create Mac format CDs and DVDs (including dual-layer).
# Burn ISO and dmg files to CD/DVD.
# Format disks for use on Mac.
# Read Mac multisession and hybrid CDs.

I looked at that software (Forgot about it when I wrote the post) and it falls in the same catagory as MacDrive (Too Expensive)

Actually, I would LOVE to find drivers that intergrate themselves into Winders, not just another interface.

I guess nobody has written it yet...

Apple HFS+ drivers for Windows integrated into BootCamp package will be the best solution I believe.

Hi,
 

Hi Everybody,

I've just bought a copy of Paragon HFS for Windows. and I feel its great at $40 its alot cheaper than MacDrive and just $5 more than TransMac which gave me bluescreens/BSODs for the download and CD likewise Paragon NTFS for Mac V8 is also out, both great products in my opinion.

Now I like MacDrive 8 it's an Improvement over v7 but I'm tired of my Mac partitions loading up very late and giving pop ups at every boot, annoying eh!!!!! sorry, jus hav to rant really.

I found TransMac very easily as the next best alternative for burning retail DMG's. It Works like a charm. In Win7 unfortunately it wasn't as stable on my PC as i expexted some time ok sometime BSOD. took a really long time to decompress dmg's in 10.6 only take a minute or two. but I'm not overly concerned as i can burn CD /DVD in disk utility and use Roxio Toast.

The rest is for you to decide. no problems with paragon what so ever.

let me add i tried bootcamp support. oops read-only atm.

Regards,
Ash

The best utility to burn dmg to dvd in windows is UltraIso ;)
TO Browser hfs is HfsExplorer, MacDrive 8 and Transmac.
The one who read the most of hfs type is HfsExplorer but the problem is that HfsExplorer is only Read :S
