I Wish I Could Go Lower 
2008-09-14
I bought this on the off chance I would ever see another Mac disk (it's been years). Given the business I'm in (publishing) there's always a chance a client may for some reason want a Mac. I did the install, but it wouldn't activate, saying the server could not be reached. Given that I had installed Dragon before it and the latest Acrobat after it, the problem wasn't on my end. This went on -- punctuated by uninstalls and reinstalls -- for several days, until I finally called the manufacturer, who gave me an activation code. Guess what? It STILL wouldn't activate! Even yet another uninstall and install did no good. I can only assume this software is so sloppily written that the disk it comes on is good for only three things: as a coaster, frisbee or clay pigeon. It should be zero stars, for what good is a program that won't install?

Yea, no if and's or but's about it - in that world of VMWear (as I am) you NEED this product.... I was all ready to get rid of VMWear (and between you and me, I still might - really just buy a Windows laptop and save your self some headaches) but, with MacDrive 7 things are a thousand (even a million) times better... (but I still might just get a Windows Laptop)...
Good Product but only works for one computer

This easily installed program makes it simple for a PC to read files on a Mac formatted external hard drive. It works fine. However, it can be installed on just one computer. If you want to install on a second computer, contact MediaFour. They will sell you additional licenses for $10 each.
MacDrive Worth the Cost 2008-04-21
It does what it is supposed to do, connect a PC to a Mac drive. Easy install, discovered the drive, made it available to my PC apps.

MacDrive 7 works great 2008-03-16
MacDrive 7 is the ultimate solution for sharing files between Mac OS and Windows. There are no special steps and nothing new to learn -- just install MacDrive, and Windows becomes a cross-platform file sharing powerhouse. Once MacDrive is installed, you'll forget it's even there -- and wish you'd installed it sooner. It's perfect for graphic design, audio, video, education, digital photography, publishing, word processing, CAD/CAM, database administration and much more. MacDrive 7 works with just about anything you can throw at it - Hard drives, CD-R/RW, DVD RW/ R, floppies, iPods, flash drives, Zip, Jaz, MO, DMG virtual disk files and more
MacDrive 7 2008-01-14
Seamless and smooth installation and operation on Windows XP. Well integrated with the XP user interface so the learning curve was essentially zero. I purchased this package to serve an immediate need to be able to deal with a USB hard drive I had received from a client running a MAC OS. I had the package the next day (with overnight shipping) and it installed and worked within minutes of receiving it. I am VERY satisfied with this product.
program work well, when it works 
2008-01-01
There are a couple of major issues you need to consider when thinking of purchasing this software.
First off, the program does not work with drives that you have created using the Mac Raid feature under the disk utility. Since i have drives configured this way, it came as a very unpleasant surprise, since all of the descriptions state categorically that it works with ALL mac drives. This is a very misleading and unethical presentation in my opinion. Amazon, if nobody else, should insist that a caveat be noted in the product description that MacDrive works on all mac drives EXCEPT those raid drives created with the mac drive utility.
When i asked the macdrive customer service about this discrepancy they admitted that is does not work with raid drives but at the same time staunchly maintained that is still works with "all" mac hard drives. Make your own decision.
The second major issue I'm having is that macdrive does not show any drives at all when running under Parallels. It does work as described above under boot camp, but i run Vista on my mac in both modes, so it is a severe limitation in my opinion. The info on the macdrive website seems to indicate that they think macdrive is compatible with parallels. Having gotten nowhere with their customer service before, I'm just hoping some other people report it and they fix it.
So, if you think you can get enough use of it, knowing the limitations, it may be worth the money.
Love it 2007-12-20
I'm using MacDrive 7, and I used MacDrive 6 as well. It does exactly what it promises. It lets you work with Mac-formatted drives on Windows machines, and those drives function just as they would on a Mac. You can even format them in HFS/HFS+ if you'd like. Highly recommended for those in a mixed computing environment.
MacDrive 7 - Outstanding 2007-11-29
I just converted to a Macbook Pro and with the purchase of a OS formatted external drive needed a way for my business PC to 'read' the drive. This product worked perfectly, effortless and without issues. I was able to ID my drive within minutes. I would HIGHLY recommend this product!!!
