Reading a CD burned with WIn XP

I created a CD using the application that starts when a blank CD is loaded. I copied files from a drive mapped to the Unix system to the CD. When I look at the burned CD from XP, everything looks the way I expect. But when I mount it on unix (mount /dev/cd0 /mnt) and look at the files, they are all uppercase and long files and directories are truncated to 8 characters. Files have a 3 character extension.

Apparently when I look at the CD in Windows, they are correct so something on Unix is preventing me from seeing the files and directories with the correct names.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. We don't have a CD burner on unix and the version is 5.0.6 so I am not sure it would support it anyway.
