Hi, I know this doesn't apply to the CD's you have already written, but if it helps, this is my experience. I know there are issues about file transfers, I've had problems in the past too, and the software solutions others have mentioned will help you at present. But at the moment I have no problem. I have the system set to always display file suffixes (have just loaded OSX 10.2.2 so hope that doesn't upset things!). I have Photoshop set to always add suffixes. I write CD's on the Mac using Toast 3.8, Mac File and Folder format, but with Joliet selected in the options (this allows normal long file names to be read by a PC). I put the CD into the PC using W2K SP3 and it sees the CD exactly as written, with all the folders and files, as named, and displays the previews when appropriate, and opens the files no problem (photos that is). Without needing any extra software. Maybe it all depends on using that Joliet setting when writing the CD. Hope this helps for the future!
