RStudio and HFS on a PC
Posted: Fri Mar 05, 2010 4:33 pm
I'm currently looking for a piece of software that will allow me to recover files from an external USB drive that is formatted HFS. The user that I'm working with is a Mac user, but I have no Mac experience. I downloaded your demo and it seems that your software supports HFS, but will the files be readable when I copy them from the HFS partition onto my NTFS drive and back to his Mac? I have asked on a few forums, but most responses have been that the files will not be readable because Mac files have 2 forks and all the data will be corrupted. If that was the case why would you release a PC version of this software to support HFS? Am I missing something? Could you help clarify this so I can make a decision whether or not to purchase a PC version of the software or tell him he needs to find someone that runs a Mac and has recovery software. By the way your software shows that the data is fully recoverable, but is finding there is a problem with the drive. Thanks.
