Publisher's Description
From Mediafour:
MacDrive is the ultimate solution for sharing files between Mac OS and Windows. Simply connect a disk to your PC and it will show up just like any other disk. Mac disks act and appear like normal Windows disks, with an apple icon to keep things clear.

"Didn't Detect Drive"
Version: MacDrive Standard 8.0.6
Pros
Free to try out.
Cons
Drive didn't come up at all.
Summary
I downloaded this trial to get files off an external drive where the enclosure had failed, and onto an ntfs drive. Tried to connect the drive to my pc both via sata and through an external usb enclosure. In both cases, the drive came up under windows disk management with a helpful "would you like to format this drive?" and MacDrive failed to see anything.
Plugging my usb hard drive dock into my MacBook Pro brings this disk up fine, so I know it works. Shame MacDrive doesn't. Maybe there are only certain formats/partition schemes that work, but I don't have time to fuss with what seemed to claim to be a simple solution. FAT32 drives work fine for most things.
The drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB (from LaCie D2 quadra)
--Apple Partition Scheme, HFS+ (Mac OS Extended, Journaled)
Dock I'm Using: Vantec NexStar Hard Drive Dock -

pricey. wish it was more affordable.
Summary
although it's not cheap, i can't find a better HFS+ file reader for PC. no read-only limitations, no dealing with separate windows, etc. it just works.

"Scandalous ripoff"
Version: MacDrive Standard 8.0
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
$50 for simple software that on the linux platform is free! Clunky software full of deprecated code... I'm sure glad I don't often work in Windows. What a p.o.s. If I were a Windows programmer, I'd whip out a version of this in a few hours and charge $0-$5 for it; I'm surprised an undergrad CS student hasn't just done this as a quick project. Oh well, this is what one gets for hanging out in the wasteland that is Windows--cruddy software and greedy companies. -
"Good but may conflict"
Version: MacDrive Standard 7.1
Pros
This software works as good as it says.
Cons
May install drivers that could conflict with your sound card. Removed software and had to reinstall my sound card drivers in order to fix. I have a HP DV9000 series laptop

"Best tool for reading Macintosh formatted disks and drives in windows."
Version: MacDrive Standard 6.0.7
Pros
It reads any type of Mac-formatted media...floppies, hard drives, cdroms, images.
It even works with virtual drive software like Daemon Tools or Alcohol 120%.
It works GREAT with the hard drive image created out of PearPC.
Works GREAT with Mac formatted iPods.
Cons
Its not free.
Trial period is very short.
Kind of expensive for a software that was designed to be used during the days when exchanging floppies between Mac and Windows was the norm. Since everyone just uses USB flash drives formatted in FAT32, this program has become quite obsolete, especially since no one is going to be installing Mac software in Windows off Mac Formatted CDROMs anytime soon.
