Is there any other way to unstuff SIT or HQX MAC files without corrupting it using Windows 2000 or XP?

Expanding the files within an archive individually, each into its
own directory, should keep the files useable under Mac OS.
Otherwise, Windows has no way of keeping track of the so-
called resource forks; it is simply not part of the file system.
Running the Mac version of Stuffit Expander under an emulator
such as could be
a solution.

If your drive is formatted as NTFS(instead of FAT) in 2000/XP then you should have a better chance of retaining the resource forks when using Stuffit Expander for Windows.
