Here is a simple and free solution to read the HFS+ file system (used on a Mac) on a Windows 7 64 bit OS. This is particularly useful for people, who regularly use Mac OS, but need the ability to easily see their files (mostly on external drives), on a Windows computer.
This method uses Apple’s HFS driver, that comes with Boot Camp 4.0.1.
How to Install Apple HFS+ Driver:
- Uninstall MacDrive/Paragon/Tuxera [if you have any of these]
- Copy AppleHFS.sys & AppleMNT.sys to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\
- Merge Add_AppleHFS.reg
- Restart
How to Remove Apple HFS+ Driver:
- Browse to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\
- Rename AppleHFS.sys & AppleMNT.sys to AppleHFS.sy_ & AppleMNT.sy_
- Restart
- Browse to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\
- Delete AppleHFS.sy_ & AppleMNT.sy_
- Merge Remove_AppleHFS.reg
The driver can be downloaded here.
