A customer asked me to have her data recovered from a floppy disk today.
I had no problems reading the directory structure in Windows XP, although the files didn't open properly... But I found some very interesting files such as "finder.dat" and a few other things that gave this away as being Mac formatted.
Under that assumption, I popped it into a G4 machine - Read it perfectly.
I was able to open documents in word pad under Windows XP. They lost their formatting, but I could still read the files.
Does this mean Windows XP can read UFS, Mac Extended (etc..) drive partitions?
I've never had a reason to, but this is useful knowledge to me if anyone knows.
