Can I recover data from a mac hard drive with a PC?

My friend accidentally deleted a file from her mac, so she gave me the hard drive hoping that I could recover it. I have recovered files before but only on PC hard drive using Getdataback program. Will i have any problems using that program for FATS?

What’s FATS?

FAT32 or FAT16 are old Windows filesystems.

If it’s a Mac hard drive, it probably uses HFS+ instead.

I’ve recovered deleted data from Mac hard drives using Photorec (it recovers just about every kind of file, not just photos):
