I'm looking to access some mac files on Windows but don't want MacDrive, but rather some freeware.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks 🙂

if you format windows partition as fat32 then you can drop them on to windows HD from mac.

HFS Explorer will allow you to read (but not write) Mac volumes from windows.

What I'd like to do is access a Macintosh formatted iPod from Windows. Any suggestions??

Can't be done. Windows can't read HFS+. Well, I think there is a third-party solution, but it probably costs money. Just make the iPod FAT32* so that they can both read it.
