Native Windows does not support Mac HFS+ partitions. You need to install a third party driver for HFS+ partitions. There are commercial options like MacDrive and Paragon HFS+ for Windows. Apple used to include drivers for read only access in Boot Camp, but I don't know if they are still included or not as I no longer use Boot Camp.

As you, I also thought that this was not possible but the 1st feature noted by Apple under Bootcamp 3 is;


Read Mac Volumes - Using Boot Camp 3.0, you can open and read files on Mac OS X volumes when booted into Windows. You can also copy photos, documents and other files from a Mac OS X volume into the Windows partition.


which can be found here;

I may be misreading it.


I cannot find out how to accomplish this anywhere.

thank you,


i do see it in disk management however it does not allow me to open the volume. The only option available to me is to delete the volume.


I cannot see it in device manager. It just shows the complete drive with no partitions.


I am unable to open it in disk management. I can open the windows partition though.


I am running Win 7 on the Bootcamp partition.
