can a Mac CD be read in Windows?

[Gigahurtz]

Hi everyone, I had a friend burn me a cd of photos (all .jpg) on his iMac. But when I try to copy the files from the cd to my PC, it won't let me saying "Disk structure is corrupted and unreadable." I know the cd works fine in his Mac so my question is is it possible to somehow view the photos on a PC with a software or convert the files so I can view them in Windows XP?

I have very litte Mac to PC exp but the mac probaly uses another filesystem hence the msg. There should be atleast ONE program that does what you are asking, so google for ex. mac2pc or browse through www.download.com or www.tucows.com for the correct catalog... Good luck

Thanks for the fast reply! I have did some searching on google and after about a bunch of time searching, I finally found a shareware program (transmac) that let's you view mac files on PC that let's me see my friend's photos. time for me to celebrate! arty:

If I were you, I would burn all CDs with the vanilla ISO9660 filesystem spec, whether you use a PC or a mac. The reason why, is because most embedded devices (e.g. set top boxes like DVD players) as well as computers support it.

Sounds like you really want to see those pictures?

If you think they may be porn pics, they are not . They are photos of a big class field trip that my friend had taken in the past and now I can cherish the memories I had with my friends and that trip for as long as I live (that is, as long as .jpg's can be viewed for another 60-70 years) :satisfied

Somebody is jumping to conclusions.
