I believe this is a problem with windows. Do you have virtual PC? I have 
received CD's from windows People and Virtual PC can read it. I think 
windows does not properly close a session for the Mac to read it. Have them 
write a single session, or finish or close so that no more sessions can be 
written to the CD.
