Mac file recovery cannot help but be completely different than the processes required for Windows data recovery. Consider that all of the proprietary that is Macintosh exclusive applications that are designed to only work on Mac personal computers. Now also factor is the idea that even Windows applications that have been converted to a Mac use were recompiled so as to work with Unix as opposed to DOS. All of this means that when attempting to solve a Mac recovery problem you will positively need a program designed to download and operate from the Mac platform.
There are Windows based Mac file recovery programs available but these are extremely simplistic and capable of little more than accessing files on a Mac hard drive and copying those files. Seldom can this software locate deleted files on a Mac or restore files lost due to reformatting. Complete information on Mac data recovery is available from Remo Software.
