I am trying to use a PC to pull data off a Mac HFS hard drive. HFSExplorer does not identify USB devices as a potential hard drive source. What device name do I use? The default is \?\GLOBALROOT\Device\Harddisk0\Partition0. null

I'm not entirely familiar macs but that looks like a device address instead of a label. If it is a device address there is no point worrying about it because the next disk will be addressed as hardisk1. If those are names labeled on the disk they can usually be changed later so don't worry too much about the name you may way too choose a label that will keep it from being confused with the other drive though.

You need to get some software like bootcamp or something that will recognize the format of the drive. Or you could use the. UUID of the drive the help the pc see it. I don't think it would help you much just to see it with your pc because unless your familiar with the filesystem windows probably won't be able to identify the files.
