Paragon HFS does the same sort of thing (lets a Windows computer directly read/write Mac HFS+ partitions), but is far more stable than MacDrive. They're both commercial products, and cost about $40, I think.

There's an application called Mac Drive that reads MAC hard drives. It may help in some way with this though, not sure.

Cool thanks! But, how do the OMF files get into Sonar? Could you open up the project in Sonar and have each track as it was in Pro Tools? Also, do I need a driver or something for a windows formatted hard drive to be able to receive the files from the Mack?
