Hi, I know the thread is old, but this just happened to me and I'm traveling abroad so I was completely distraught to not know if my hard drive was fubar'ed with all my pics and such when the motherboard on my macbookpro went pop. Bought tiny Acer netbook and was able to download the HSFExplorer software. The Java stuff was a PITA to download and get right for some reason, but not being completely savvy with peecees likely caused some of that frustration. I field stripped the macbookpro, slapped the drive in a spare enclosure and did a little good juju dance before plugging it in.
Why can't I find Java 6 for Mac OS X on java.com? For Java versions 6 and below, Apple supplies their own version of Java. For Mac OS X 10.6 and below, use the Software Update feature (available on the Apple menu) to check that you have the most up-to-date version of Java 6 for your Mac. But there's no sign of 1.7, nor using spotlight can I find any other.jdk or anything called 1.7.* anywhere on my machine, despite the JDK installer saying it was successful (I've tried running the installer a few times). If the installer is saying it was installed why can't I find it? Is it supposed to have gone into /System/Library/Java. I downloaded and installed Java SE Development Kit 11.0.1 from the Oracle page, but there's no icon to open it in the application folder. I can't figure out where it's installed. Downloaded java se for mac but can't find it. Download Java for OS X directly from Oracle.

It worked and the data survived! The drive does not automatically pop up in the program's window: you have to tell the program to 'load from device' under the 'file' pulldown. The other software that worked for me was TransMac ().
It's not free by any means at $48 USD, but it's interface is more friendly and intuitive (thought dated looking, but when you are distraught about your data the working/intuitive gui is by far more important than the shiny baubles of the gui) and that might be worth alot to some. I also tried MacDrive () but it would not run on my netbook for some reason or another and since it costs a tiny bit more than TransMac I didn't bother pursuing the 'why' of it.
