I have Norton 2004 on my laptop (it has XP.) I bought a new Dell- also XP. Someone permanently borrowed my installation CD for 2004. I want to install it on my new Dell. Is it possible in XP to somehow copy or burn the necessary files from my laptop so that it can reinstall it on my new one. If this is not the right forum, please direct me to the appropriate one.
Thx
 
Greetings,

No you'll need to have a copy of the cd of - Norton 2004 to install on your
desktop machine.

Thanks and best of luck!

If you can get that dick back you can make a copy of it

Hi,
I am a first time user and am not sure that I post my querry to the right
group. But perhaps somebody is kind enough to help me.
I use Windows XP and burn CD's with Roxio. Everything works fine except for
one thing: the files (archive) come up on the burnt CD as files (read only).
How can I keep my files as 'archive', how to prevent them becoming 'read
only'?
Any answers will be gratefully accepted.
Wishing you all a Happy New Year

A CD is a read-only medium by its nature. Its full name is "CD-ROM,"(Compact
Disk, READ ONLY memory."

All files on a CD are always read-only.
 
You have to change them back to not read only when you copy them back
to your folder. All files on the CD if not r/w will be read only.

Use Nero or some other software that doesn't close the session after writing.

But actually, one step further, anything you write to CD or DVD is alwaysand only READ only. You can't overwrite it, it's always there. Best you can do if you want to add a modified version of a file is to rename it and write, or start another CD.
If it's a CD/RW you can erase the stuff or overwrite it, not sure if XP screws these disks or not.

Something I've learned not to do, if you do use Nero or any software thatleaves the session open, NEVER use XP to write to a CD. XP it seems closes the session whether you want to or not. Meaning you MUST use XP until you've filled that CD from the 1st time you used XP to copy stuff to the CD.
