accessing time machine with pc
I have my macbook backed up using time machine. This computer is on its way out and my new computer is going to be a PC. How can I bring all my backed up time machine files over to the PC? Thanks.

Whatever storage device you have the TM backup on is likely formatted HFS+, so you’ll need to find a way to access that kind of filesystem on a Windows computer.
You can use HFSExplorer to perform such a feat. Just be sure you have Sun’s Java runtime for Windows installed ahead of time.
Lastly, once you have read access to the disk you’ll want to browse to
Backups.backupd/<computer name>/Latestshould get you your latest backup. Your documents will be in the sub folder<hard disk name>/Users/<user name>. -
