Converting Apple disks to PC format

[teacherD3]

I have an apple power pc that just died.  I want to place the files/info on my backup floppy disks on my new gateway PC.  How do I go about "translating" the info so I can load it on my PC using Windows XP?  Is there some way to transfer the files/info into gateway PC-ese?

Well with floppy disks its just a matter of formatting them in MacOS 9 for PC DOS.. then you can write the files on them!

I dont know how it works if you put the HDD in the PC.. I dont think that will work in any way..
