The current MacDrive doesn't work on Windows 7 so I can't see my external drive. What are you guys using? And how about firewire?

Doesn't help you right now... but I think Snow Leopard will have this built in

Had this same problem too, but got it solved. Check this thread for help.

Essentially, you have to use a different Firewire driver than the one that Windows 7 uses. Go into Device Manager to change it. Use the one called legacy driver.

And use HFS Explorer, as Mac Drive is unfortunately a piece of crap. Thankfully Snow Leopard will have native HFS driver support so you won't have to bother with any of this stuff.
