Well it looks like a normal file system issue, i don't know what mac's file system is, but apparently windows cant use it, that's why you cant access old files which were created on the mac computer, i might try to convert the file system with any program like partition magic, but i don't really feel easy with those cause they might corrupt the old files, but if it works fine and u ever decide to go back to the mac they wont work there any more either.. well i hope someone here suggests a better solution for your problem. Good luck,,
