Thanks a lot all,
 "umount /dev/hdc && mount  -t subfs -o fs=iso9660 /dev/hdc /media/GeTax2006"
does the trick,

I can now read everything on a CD without rebooting under M$,
although not all at once (well what do I expect?...nothing is perfect)
I'll read the docs and try to see if I can find a simple way to switch whthout 
having to "su root"
