Freeware program to read Mac CDs on a PC?

[Ruggerbugger]

Title says it all really. I need a program (preferably freeware) to read Mac formatted CDs on XP Pro laptops. AFAIK, the files are Powe****** presentations - I'm asking on behalf of someone else, so I'm not sure - so I don't think I need conversion software.

Can anyone help?

Cheers

Why is the swear filter blocking Powe******?

MacDrive from mediafour has a free trial which would probably do the job for as long as you need

It looks like Macdrive would do it, but we've got a spindle of a 100 CDRs so they can be reburned. It wasn't me anyway, and I get travel expenses out of the CDRs, so no problems.

Thanks anyway

I used this: http://gamma.nic.fi/~lpesonen/HFVExplorer/
Its ancient, but as long as you know to rename your files with the correct extension it will do it. Also ran fine under xp.

p.s. so that Stuffit doesn't take over my pc I use version 5 as its the newest non-psycho release. Search Google for ALEX50.EXE if you want it.

Thanks That looks useful.

http://www.knoppix.org/ would also do it

Not exactly convenient though hex..

If you have access to the mac that burned the disks in the first place, you could just use Toast to burn a windows compatible ISO or hybrid CD.

Just a thought save messing around with dodgew windows programs
