Using Windows XP. I successfully copy files and folders
to my R/W drive with a rewriteable disc in the drive.
When I later place the disc in the drive and call up the
files,I find that they are "Read Only"; thus I can't
modify of change them. What, if anything, am I doing
incorrectly and is there a solution? I tried clicking on
the Read Only box in the Properties, but that didn't
solve the problem.

Will greatly appreciate an E-mail from someone. Please
bear in mind that I am a novice approaching total
ignorance when working with computers. I have a good
heart however.

Thank you.
 
If you burn a data cd the files will be read-only, no matter what cd type
you use. To be able to edit them on the cd you have to burn the cd with
packet writing software like roxio direct cd or nero incd.
