Opening windows files with Mac

[tammyinkansas]

Im presently on an imac with Snow Leopard installed on it. I found an old cdrom disk of mine that I burned a few years back when I had a Windows computer. I think it ran Windows XP Home. Anyways, I used a burning program called Hotburn to burn the disk. I burned my address book, several photos, different folders of various things onto the disk. For whatever reason, the file extensions on every file turned into .ink. So, how can I open them on my mac? I copied the files on the burned disk to a new folder on my imac.

What are the file sizes of those files?

May it be a multi session CD?

are you sure they are .ink and not .lnk?
.lnk files are just windows shortcut files. So if they are infact lnk files All you did was copy over the shortcuts and not the actual files.

I had a friend who made the same mistake with windows several years ago. He copied an entire disk and then found out all he actually copied was the shortcuts.
