Hello

This may be an xp - based question, but I'll try it here as
well. I am a mac newbee (but I absolutely love it, and
OSX!) and I was wondering if there is any way to view the
mac partition from windows. I have used boot camp to
install windows as a secondary operating system, and
obvisouly windows does not see the mac partition. Are
there any dirvers/programs I can use to view this partition
from windows?
Thanks!
Dan

Windows XP does not have any native way of viewing an HFS partition. So the short answer is no, unless you manage to come across any 3rd party software that has HFS support under windows.

MacDrive is a networking utility for sharing files between macs and PCs, not a HFS partition viewer. MacDrive will not help with this problem.

MacDrive v7 will see a USB or 1394 HFS Drive
just fine. Just install your drive in a USB external bay.
