Help with HFVExplorer (1.3.1)
Posted by: mraroid on 2017-03-12 12:27:37
Hi...

Is anyone here running HFVExplorer (version1.3.1)?

I found this help file from 1999:

Is anyone running this program under windows 10? Is it working OK?

Thanks

Hi,

First post here (signed up so I could reply to be honest!).

I have HFVExplorer working on Windows 10 and it's version 1.3.1. To be honest, it's a bit flaky but during my escapades in getting a Mac Classic II up and running, I never had any lost files or data corruption. It's 'quirky' but useable.

Thanks,

Crashed.

Thank you for your help Crashed.  I am running Windows 10 64 bit.  Are you running 32 bit or 64 bit?

Can you read a Apple CD in the CD/DVD drive on your windows 10 computer?  I have a floppy drive I can add to my windows 10 box and I hope it can read my apple floopies....

I'm using HFV explorer on Windows 10 64Bit. I haven't had any trouble reading or writing floppies in it. It works pretty well for archiving, although most of the time I just make bit for bit .img files in Linux. Still, the program works well for me. I think you can read CDs by Apple, I haven't tried. You just need to find a way to save the data without ruining the resource fork.
