MacDrive 8 For Windows

MacDrive is a must-have tool for anyone running Windows on a PC or a Mac. MacDrive for Windows takes all the guess work out disk accessibility. You are no longer stymied trying to access Mac -formatted hard drives, CDs, DVDs, iPod and more. With MacDrive installed moving files between Macs and PCs is a breeze. The best part about MacDrive is there is nothing to launch and nothing to learn – simply install and Windows understands Mac disks. Along with the ability to read and write to Mac disks and volumes, you can also create Mac disks for easy file transfers and backups. The built-in MacDrive Disk Manager gives you the power to partition, format, analyze and repair disks, while the newly revamped CD/DVD Creator allows you to burn Mac CDs and DVDs.

User Reviews

I must first admit that I do not own the lastest version of Macdrive but I do own Macdrive 7. I received very little support from Mediafour and gave up on using the program because of all the errors I was receiving. Once I had made the purchase they had very little interest in me. -- Poor Customer Support
This produce installed easily, saw the hard drive but said it couldn't be read because of encoding. The drive was new, out of the box. I called for help and was told to contact the drive vendor. They said there wasn't anything wrong. All I could do was return the drive to the customer along with the files on one of my hard drives. Haven't seen the software really work. -- Semi works, NO SUPPORT
I have Macdrive 8 installed on our HP laptop running Windows Vista. It works. I was able to read and write to my USB external backup drive that has an exact mac-formatted mirror-image backup of the harddrive from my Macbook. I was able to use Windows Explorer to go through the mac-formatted drive to read and copy files. That's the basic capability that I wanted and that all works for me. Go to the MediaFour website to get the trial version of Macdrive 8 if you want to test it out for yourself. I've only used Macdrive 8 with Windows Vista. If you have Windows 7, the MediaFour website seems to indicate Windows 7 compatibility but they say to check for updates. Check with the MediaFour website for yourself.

For those who have both Mac and PC, I would suggest getting: (1) Macdrive 8 for your PC; and (2) Paragon NTFS for Mac 7 for your mac. You don't have to get both, but I have both for maximum flexibility for accessing drives from either mac or windows using either type of computer whether on a Mac or a windows-only PC. With Macdrive, I can read and write to mac-formatted drives using a windows PC (i.e., our HP laptop). And with Paragon NTFS for Mac, I can directly read and write to windows NTFS-formatted drives using my Macbook. Thank you for reading this short review. -- Macdrive 8 is a must-have if you have both PC and Mac
