    Default Paragon HFS Driver for Windows FREE

    Head to the Paragon site to download the HFS driver for Windows 32 and 64 bit, free for a limited time (up to 50,000 downloads I think). This allows you to read, but possibly not write to, HFS formatted Mac hard drives when mounted in Windows.

    Thanks for sharing that with us!

    Just over there and grabbing a copy right now. Finally, a HFS solution for Windows…

    Sweet.

    I've just installed it and gave it a go — had some issues at first, but it's reading my external HFS+ drive with no problems.

    But I don't believe the software is able to write HFS/HFS+ at this point in time (listed under “restrictions and known issues”).

    However, read-only access is still good…

    I thought a recent Boot Camp driver update made the Mac partition readable but not writable anyway

    How does that help you if you're not using Boot Camp

    Ahh of course. I forgot that people run Windows on non-Apple computers

    When I try to install it the installer doesn't give me an option of where I want it installed, normally this isn't a problem but I don't have write access to the program files directory, how would I install it

    Is this your own PC that you're installing it on? If so what version of Windows?
