I need to take a 30gb file from a Mac G5 and my external HD has been stolen!, so i was wondering having only done this between two macs before.

If i was to start up the Mac G5 in firewire mode and connect it to my Vista Ultimate laptop, will I be able to see it in "computer" as you would for any other device ?

The reason i am asking this is because the mac is in another location so i can't just try it, will have to make a trip tomorrow and do this if it works !
