You will need something like MacDrive to read/write HFS+ from Windows

Check out the various file systems here: MR Guide: File Systems

how to read and write NTFS

I think he wants it the other way around

FAT32 = both Windows and OSX will read/write but with 4 GB file size limitation

NTFS = OSX can read but not write without something like NTFS-3G or Pargon NTFS

HFS+ = Windows needs something like MacDrive to read/write

I believe there is a free solution, but I don't recall it at the moment
You might can Google it

Edit: HFS for Windows is free, but beta

can only read in the beta .. how lame ..
looks like mac drive has a free trial

Are you using an external mac formatted drive or different partitions on the same drive?

If you are booted into W7, then you need MacDrive, etc.

If you are in Fusion, you can always use a shared folder. I save all my Windows documents in a shared folder on my Mac HD (from Fusion), which then gets backed up by TimeMachine...

(not really clear on your scenario, hope that helps)
