I have a Macbook Pro, that I've installed XP onto via Boot Camp. There is large amount of files that I want to transfer from the OSX partition to the XP partition. I am willing to spend money for an application that will do it. Please advise.

The easiest way to accomplish this would be to use an external HDD. Make sure it is formatted so it can be viewed from windows and transfer the files to that. Either that or a network share.

MacDrive 7

A little expensive from them. Can get it on Amazon at almost a 30% savings.

A freebie is HFSExplorer.

Why not get Parallels? It will be easier to use Windows XP and you will be able to share folders to which you can copy any files you want to.
