I am in the process of moving files from my MAC to my Windows XP computer. My
hard drive is NTFS. I tried installing appletalk but I found out that
appletalk isnt compatible with Windows XP.

Is there something I can install to get my Windows XP machine to recognize
my MAC hard drive.

Thanks

Jim

What type of Macintosh computer? What OS is on the macintosh? Are they
connected to a network?

Personally - if this is a one-time thing - I'd use a USB hard disk drive
formatted FAT32 (most are by default) and just copy what I need off one onto
another.

Or share a directory off the Windows XP machine and make an SMB connection
to it on the macintosh and copy what you want...

Although I am sure you can do other things, per the article above.
