MacDrive
MacDrive makes your Windows computer understand Mac-formatted disks. Once installed you can access files on all of your Mac disks exactly like they were PC disks.
If you share files between Macs and PCs, MacDrive is a must have utility that will make your life easier and save you time and money. Developed since 1996, MacDrive is a mature robust solution that can quickly and seamlessly allow you to access almost any Mac-formatted disk direct from your Windows PC. Whether you’re shooting and editing huge video and audio files or simply moving documents between Macs and PCs, you owe it to yourself to try MacDrive today.
Mac disks work like PC disks
MacDrive enables your Windows PC to see and use Mac-formatted disks and drives. You can open files on Mac disks, edit those files and even save back to a Mac disk – in Mac format. Simply plugin an external drive or pop in a Mac disk and it will appear just like any other disk on your PC. MacDrive does all the hard work in the background and even displays a little red apple next to the drive just to let you know you’re using a Mac disk.

Using Macdrive 7, and it works very well: I can use HFSJ volumes seamlessly on my Windows XP PC.
I had a major error though when Windows crashed (blue screen): a backup job was running, writing to the HFSJ partition and after reboot, Windows said that partition was corrupted and unavailable.
Doing a repair in the 'Format or Repair Mac Disks' Macdrive tool allowed me to regain access to the partition, and everything looks fine now. (Didn't try chkdsk though, and I'm sure it would be recommended.)
