Not necessary to use data recovery software capable of reading HFS+ partition (like Rstudio). If OP is only trying to "recover" Mac drives, MacDrive is overkill and offers no data recovery tools. If OP wants to read/write to working Mac drives, then it's a good option.

Not according to his post, he just can't boot the partition the data is still there and there is nothing wrong with the drive. I assumed he wants to slave the mac drive to his Windows bench computer and the Macdrive software will allow him to see the drive and file system in a Windows environment, then it is a matter of copy and paste the files from the mac drive to your destination backup folder in Windows.

I stand corrected

FYI… this "free" tool may work for you also:

*and there may be more free ones out there if this will only be an occasional task. Although, since you have a Mac, hooking up to it is really the best/easiest way to proceed.

Never heard of Tenorshare before. Since you seem to work for Tenorshare, can you compare it to Data Rescue 3 (the primary Mac data recovery software I used)?
