View Mac External drive on a PC

Here I am at YVR airport at 1.23am waiting to fly to Singapore with my PC and Mac external passport drive. I have all my movies in this external drive as its connected to my Mac Mini at home to the TV. I was fortunate to find a blog explaining how to view files from a Mac formated drive.

Download http://www.catacombae.org/hfsx.html HFSexplorer. Thats it! Absolutely fantastic. Since my second name is Trouble, I usual encounter a run around to able to get anything working. Like my popular Calendar Lighting importing Outlook exchange calendar. That was some doing. But this HFSexplorer, easy as pie thanks to all the developers.
