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.

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.
