[HOWTO] Make Windows see HFS+ formatted drives

Just install MacDrive on your Windows box. This works well also in BootCamp to see your Mac hard drive/partition .

yeah MacDrive is great, but remember it works only if you don't have Alcohol120% or Daemon Tools installed.

Why do Alcohol120% and Daemon Tools stop MacDrive?

HFSExplorer is another solution for this - and it works free

check if you want the ability to write to HFS

Note that HFSExplorer is read-only. You cannot write to or alter a file on an HFS volume from Windows with this tool. You can only copy files over from HFS.

It looks like MacDrive7 does allow writing -- at least that's what they imply on the website. I didn't not find an explicit feature.
