D'oh – lightning zapped my Macbook and the ADSL router last night. Removed hard disk from Macbook and it works in my parents' Windows machine, but can only access the Boot Camp partition. Does anyone know how to read an HFS partition in Windows?
Second stupid question – it's covered under the house insurance with NFU Mutual. I'm away for a week from Wednesday and *really* need the computer. Any guesses on whether they can be motivated into writing a cheque for the damn thing so I can get a quick replacement?
