[wplug] Mounting Mac HDD?

[Falenski, Matt]

It's a bad HDD.  It wont boot the entire way. All extensions load, desktop
Starts, and just locks up.  Drive was clicking but has stopped.  I was
hoping
To copy all docs off of it through our hero Linux.  It did get farther than 
Any other thing I have tried.

I don't know much about Macs - can there be a primary & a secondary drive as
PCs have?  Would I be able to just drag & drop from one drive to the
desktop?

Tnx.

I mentioned in another email.  It's an HFS+ filesystem.  You can mount it as

an HFS+ filesystem, *BUT* it's just a readonly filesystem with the message 
telling you that you need a newer OS.   Try mounting it on a mac with OS 
8.0.1 or greater.  There (currently) isn't support for HFS+ filesystems with

linux.
