Mac Disks/CDs on XP?

[BC]

Quick question here - are there any programs that would allow my PC running
XP to access Macintosh formatted discs and CDs?

I have just switched from a Mac to a PC recently, and I'm having trouble
transfering some of my files over - all I have to do it with right now is
through the floppy disk drives... it's alright for the smaller files, but I
have files which are wayy too big to fit on the disks (not to mention the
time it'd take me to transfer the files from a few CDs that I have).

Preferablely free, or if not something cheap if possible. Any help, links,
or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hmmm, thanks, there are two programs that I know of - TransMac(?) and
MacOpener, but both cost too much to warrent a purchase... I only need to
use the program once you see, and chances are I'll never have to use it
again. I'll keep the link though, if nothing else turns up I'll give this a
try.

I have a prog called Laplink, came on a cover disc. Dunno if it's Mac
compatable though. Just load on both m/c's, connect with parallel
cable, (or network them) and drag and drop. There must be something
similar where you are.....check the mag. racks

 

[who me?]

Nothing out there that is free, but several commercial programs do the job.
try http://www.asy.com/scrtm_go.htm for one at $65 USD.

You are not one of those Snow Birds that comes to Arizona in a $100,000
motor home, pulling a $30,000 car, looking for a free place to park are you?

the cheapest program I could find costs around US$40, which is just wayyy
too much for something that I was gonna use only once. Found a solution
though - downloaded a copy of MacOpener - it has a 14(?) day demo mode.
Works like a charm.

Thanks for all those who offered suggestions.

folks still let me stay at home. Free rent. with my job I can barely
afford to eat...
