hfs and hfs+ in windows

Greetings,

Recently my mac hardware died, and because i only had it to be able to test/experiment i do not have any spare mac equipment. I had 2 storage hard drives in there where i had some data that i now need. Is it possible to mount these two drives in windows? if not, is it possible to mount these drives in OpenBSD? -- i have thought about possibly rebuilding one of my openbsd boxes to a Linux that had the kernel support for hfs, however they are both running servers that i cannot take down (they are for my home-run business). I could possible recompile the kernel on one of them however since they are redundant. Any help would be apreciated since google was not very much of a help.

AFAIK, you can't mount them in Windows.

You can mount them in linux or bsd.

I've never really used bsd so I don't know the differences between open and freebad.

However, google turns up plenty of results for mounting hfs or hfs plus under linux and *bsd.

here is one link... you can find the rest on google

I don't have anything to test on but will this work? It says it won't do it on HFS+. It's made for unix but there ports to windows.

But if I'm reading this right BOOO. Did you check the OpenBSD site first.

not really because i wasn't fond of taking one of my servers down. i did, however, find just recently a program called macdisk for windows... I am going to give that a shot:

My first goal is to get the drive contents through windows, my last resort is the bsd --

[random thought]
is there a way to mount ext2 or ext3 file systems in windows??

The first one I listed is ported to windows.
