mounting hfs+ on windows 7

[mikeheenan]

I hope this is the correct forum for this... anyways, I have a Windows 7 desktop that I am trying to mount a backup drive of Lion on to transfer some files. I downloaded Paragon HFS, and it detects the drive and shows that the drive has 190GB on it, but when I go to the downloads folder in the user folder, all the folders are shown as unknown files, and I cannot get into the drive further to examine any files. Are there any different programs to use?

If your running Win7 x64 you could try the Read-Only HFS+ driver extracted from Boot Camp 4.0.1 (I use it on all my Windows PC's).

How to Install Apple HFS+ Driver:

1. Uninstall MacDrive/Paragon
2. Copy AppleHFS.sys & AppleMNT.sys to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\
3. Merge Add_AppleHFS.reg
4. Restart

How to Remove Apple HFS+ Driver:

1. Browse to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\
2. Rename AppleHFS.sys & AppleMNT.sys to AppleHFS.sy_ & AppleMNT.sy_
3. Restart
4. Browse to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\
5. Delete AppleHFS.sy_ & AppleMNT.sy_
6. Merge Remove_AppleHFS.reg
