MacBook Pro HDD won’t show in Windows

bootcamphard drive

I've got to send my MBP in for the infamous GPU problem (2011-2013 models) and I would like to back up or at least gain access to my HDD to save some important-ish files.

I've hooked the drive up to my PC, but only the Windows 7 partition shows in My Computer.

When I go to Disk Management, the whole drive shows up as seen in this picture:

I've got HFSExplorer and that doesn't seem to help. Any ways I can go about gaining access?

Yosemite converts your drive to Core Storage, which makes most Windows utilities that used to be able to read Mac drives, unable to do so. I'd suggest making an image of the drive. I'm not terribly familiar with Windows disk imaging software, but it looks like DAEMON Tools will get the job done. There's a "Lite" version that claims to be able to do it.
