Your question doesn't make a lot of sense.
There is no such thing as a 'Mac CD'. CD's are a common format between Windows and OS X.
If you can't see the files on your machine then you are not going to be able to open them.
If you could get access to a Mac you could see if the files are visible on the Mac and see what file type they are (look at the characters after '.' at the end of the file name).
If you can tell us the file types we can tell you if you are going to be able to open them on your XP machine or not.
The most likely explanation is that the CD really is blank but try it on a Mac first.

macs and pcs have been that way since the dawn of the computer. the file systems are totally different so they are not compatible. That's why you are not able to see any files on the cd. You have to have a computer with a mac operating system on it to access whatever it is on that disk. No way around it that i'm aware of.

This is normal. Microsoft won't let you view any other formats of Mac HFS+, Unix UDF, *BSD and GNU/Linux EXT2/3, or reiserFS, etc.
Nope, if you had any freedom to know the truth, it might set you FREE! No dictator tolerates the education of the drones.
This will run in your PC CDrom, boots in RAM, and lets you view the Mac CDrom, but, this includes 1900 games, programs, applications, many shared with Mac, http://pclinuxos.com
and 5500 programs, when installed.

But, Macs can read disks burned by PCs.
