Title is self-explanatory. My main computer is a Windows 7 PC. My laptop is a MBA. My external 2.0 GB hard drive is formatted in Mac format. Can I somehow plug it into the PC and copy all the files to it?

Right now I am trying it over the network...but it says it's going to take three days to copy 2TB of movies.

To Read/Write HFS+ from Windows, Install MacDrive
 
Doesn't seem to be working. Formatted the external HDD on my Mac using Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Plugged it in to my PC. Started MacDrive 8. Clicked on "Explore Mac Disks". It just opens up a Windows Explorer window, and the HDD isn't displayed.

Oops it's working, forgot to reboot.
