administrator permission

[Guest]

I am not able to replace an existing file on my CD because I keep getting a
message that is saying that I need permission from the administrator to do
it. I do not understand why I receive that message when I am the
administrator. I also am not able to save to my CD/DVD drive becasue of the
same problem. How do I ask for permission when I am the administrator?
Thank you

Open registry editor(Start>Run type "regedit")
Navigate to this key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

and set the following values to zero

"AllocateCDRoms"="0"
"AllocateFloppies"="0"
"AllocateDASD"="0"

Hi,

Do you have packet writing software installed (UDF capable)? That is the
only way you can overwrite an existing file on a CDRW (not CDR). If you are
using the built in software (imapi burning service), then all it is capable
of is erasing the entire disk, not rewriting individual files store on the
disk.
