How do I get a CD-ROM to read multiple volumes?

I have a two-year old CD that was created on a Mac at two
different times. Hence, the CD contains two separate
sessions or volumes which display as two separate icons
on a Mac desktop. On my Mac, I can access either volume
by simply clicking the icon. On my PC I am unable to
even see the second volume, from which I urgently need to
extract data. How may I direct my PC to read the second
volume so that I may retrieve the images I so badly need?

Thanks for any help!

Hopefully, a Mac expert will answer you, but in case they don't, you
could try opening the cd on a Mac and upload to a website where you
could download from your pc. If you don't have a website, you could try
WhaleMail or if the images aren't big, you might email them to
yourself.

Good luck,

Do a Google search for ISO Buster.

If you explore at www.nero.com, I think they have a tool that will do
it. Normal practice (as defined in the ISO CD specs) is to 'chain' such
sessions together, so that one sees the sum of both as if a single
session. Nero or Easy CD Creator could burn a further session having
picked up 'importing' whichever of the earlier ones you like, provided
the disk as a whole has not been 'closed'. But if skipping the last one
in this way, you should copy it away to safety first
