How do I access the MacOSX filesystem over firewire in windows?

I have a macbook that Finder won't open. I want to connect it to my windows PC so I can copy files off it so I can reinstall MacOSX.

How can I access the filesystem?

I don't know, but if you have access to another Mac and both meet the requirements, you can achieve your goal using Firewire Target Disc Mode.

I know I can do that but I only have one Mac

The my suggestion is for you to provide as much detail here as you can, about your Mac model and version of OS , along with as much detail as you can about the issue and what you were doing/have done since (when) the issue presented itself. Then someone here may possible be able to help you save your files and/or restore Finder.
