Mac HD help
Ok... My Performa 6200CD just died (RIP) and I need to get info off the hard drive. The hard drive is still working (I think) and it is an IDE based drive... so...
Is there a program for Windows that lets me see/read/write on a Mac formatted drive?
Windows will want to format the damn thing and I know you need to format it (in fat16/fat32/ntfs) for Windows to use it. What I need is a program that looks for HFS/HFS+ formatted drives and lets me at least read it (just to get the info off the drive).
The only other Mac I own is an iMac (333 Rev.D) so there is no luck there... unless the IDE chip can handle two devices... But other than that I only have my PC and a LC520 (which uses SCSI).
Any Ideas?
EDIT: Oh and I dual boot Linux too... If you know of any program for linux that does the same.

Oooh, Amazon.com has the box and all for 40! Of course, I don't know if your data is worth 40 bucks to you or not. You may want to look around a little more.
But I am not willing to spend any money.
Any other ideas?

Well, there's a handy lil app called the 'Linux kernel' that does this
I assume you have built a kernel before? Hopefully yes (It has a bit of a learning curve). You need to add Mac partition map support and HFS (and/or HFS Extended) support into the kernel. Or build them as modules and load them into your currently running kernel.
