Greetings!
Im really in a jam and need major help please! Im using a late 2007 white macbook that has snow leopard and had win 7 as a dual boot on it. I got pissed off that the osx partition does see the windows partition and windows sees the mac partition but wont let me save anything to it. So i resized my osx partition and made an extras drive to be used on both OS's. Now when i hold down "option" to boot to windows it doesnt see the partition. Honestly i dont care about windows. I can reinstall it. All i care about is the documentation on it. So. I tried pulling out the hard drive and using it as a slave on my PC to retrieve it. the win 7 machine told me to format the drive.. HELL no. What do i do now? I need the documents off so i can continue doing my school work. Please let me know. Thanks

My specs:
2007 core 2 duo macbook
4gb ram
750 gb hard drive
snow leopard and win 7 ultimate 32bit.

Use a Linux Live CD. That should be able to see files on the file system.
 
So i loaded the Ubuntu 13.04 DVD in my machine and it still wont find the boot camp windows 7 partition. in fact im using the OS to type this out. The CD sees the Macintosh partition plus the extra partition but not the windows partition.... Guess i might just give up and format reload without getting my crap.. unless anyone else has any last ideas?
