.A couple of points before I give you a direct answer. These are very 
important points so pay close attention.

.This group is an Apple// group not a Mac group. The Apple// is a 
computer made by the same company but pre-dated and funded the Mac. They 
are two completely different machines. The groups you want have "mac" in 
the name not "apple".

.The *ONLY* way your PC (the hardware) can read a hard drive you had 
connected to a Mac is if you have an identical plug for the drive on 
both machines. Likely a SCSI connector. If the hardware isn't available 
then you don't have a chance. Next is the way the hard drive is 
formatted... Windows XP will read *ONLY* FAT32 and NTFS. Your Mac is 
able to read and write to a FAT32 formatted disk but not NTFS. More 
likely the hard disk is formatted with HFS or HFS+, which is meant for 
the Mac. There may be programs available which will let Windows read Mac 
drives, but I don't know of any (check the Mac groups). If you decide to 
scrap Windows and replace it with a modern BSD or Linux, the format of 
the drive is no longer a problem. The software (at least with Linux) can 
be installed in two minutes.
