Copy files back and forward on bootcamp and OS X-partition

My Bootcamp partition will not boot so I'm gonna make a new one but I have a few very essential files. It's some pictures and 3D-program-files.


the Question: If I copy the bootcamp-files from Finder onto my OS X desktop, will I than be able to copy them back through the windows 7 "finder" (can't remember it's name) oncw istalled? and be able to use them?

Nop, there´s none. It is strange cause I remembered it not working when using my external hdd HFS+ with windows long time ago. It must be something following the bootcamp process. But doesn't it work for you though?don't you have a bootcamp partition to try with?


you can't access all hfs volumes with just Apple drivers under Windows.

you would need a driver from paragon or mediafour's MacDrive to mount those volumes let alone write


there are free NTFS for OS X but I have found that they don't work well or as well as Paragon NTFS
