I'm just taking a guess here since I haven't used Mac burned CDs but I'm guessing that Windows doesn't recogmize the Mac CD format, just like it doesn't recognize the Mac Floppy format. A damnable abomination!! Also, sometimes jpegs downloaded from a Mac and copied to a PC format floppy can't be read by a PC. Any chance that the Mac is networked to a PC server? You might be able to transfer files to the server and then to a PC with a CD burner (if there is one around). Sorry I can't help further. For all I know, it just might work anyways (esp. if the burner can be installed on PCs). Good luck.

I'm sure that's a way to read those cds just go and find some mac emulators.

Actually I forgot s.th. important: If I want to read the CD, the explorer showes me an empty Dir. and wants to tell me that there is nothing on the CD (well, but there is) ... And I have no Mac at hand ...

Try usiing HFV Explorer. I have used this to copy my Mac OS onto my Mac Emulator. It is just like windows explorer, but it reads Mac disks as well as windows ones.
The address is:- http://mes.emuunlim.com/software/index.htm
Read the info about the OS's and click on HFV Ecplorer.
Hope this helps, and good luck
