What kind of CD is that? What's sold by some labels today as commercial
"Audio CDs" actually violates the Audio CD standard [1] to accommodate
"Digital Rights Management" (DRM, more properly also known as "Digital
Restrictions Management").

If it is such a CD, it might contain (or have installed) software that
allows to see some files with XP that you cannot see without that
software.
