For a Windows computer to be able to read a hard drive, it needs to have a file system format compatible with Windows. File systems compatible with Windows include FAT32 and NTFS.

Why not?

A hard drive formatted for use in a Mac has either an HFS or HFS+ file system. For this reason, a Mac-formatted hard drive is not directly compatible, nor readable by a Windows computer. The HFS and HFS+ file systems are not readable by Windows.

What are my options?

The Macintosh Hard Disk 20 was the first hard drive developed by Apple Computer specifically for use with the Macintosh 512K.Introduced on September 17, 1985, it was part of Apple's long-awaited solution toward completing the Macintosh Office (a suite of integrated business hardware & software) announced in January 1985.

Using a third-party application, it may be possible for a Windows computer to read a Mac-formatted hard drive. A few of the popular applications used by Windows to read a Mac hard drive are listed below.

  • HFSExplorer - Free-to-use program and requires Java to be installed on the Windows computer. It allows for read-only access to files on the Mac hard drive. Updating or deleting files on the Mac hard drive from the Windows PC is not possible.
  • MacDrive - Available as a 5-day free trial and can be purchased for $49.99, MacDrive allows users to view, update, and delete files on the Mac hard drive. MacDrive can integrate with Windows Explorer for easier browsing of the hard drive's files.
  • Paragon HFS+ for Windows - This program is available as a 10-day free trial and can be purchased for $19.95. Like MacDrive, users can view, update, and delete files on the Mac hard drive. It also integrates with Windows Explorer.

Introduction

By default, Mac OS X does not display any icon on the desktop. Not even the internal hard disk. In this article, I will be showing how simply you can display Hard Disks on the Mac OS X desktop.

As you can see, not a single icon is displayed on the Mac OS X desktop.
To display hard disks icons on the desktop, follow the below steps:

  1. Launch Finder from the Dock
  2. Using the Menu bar, click on Finder then click on Preferences..


  1. Under the General tab, you can see that only External disks and CDs, DVDs and iPods are selected by default to be displayed on the desktop. What about the internal hard disk for example ? to display the hard disk icon on the desktop, select the checkbox beside Hard disks
  2. Once selected, the changes are applied instantly and you can see now the Macintosh HD icon displayed on the desktop.
    If you want to hide the hard disk icon from the desktop, then all what you have to do is to deselect the checkbox beside Hard disks and the icon will be removed from the desktop.
    I have produced a small clip to show you this article in short, watch it :
