Re: Write protection error on CD-RW discs
I think you were right. You are trying to copy files from the hard drive toa CD-RW not the other way around. And it really doesn't matter if files are
read-only if you are copying them so changing the read-only attribute
shouldn't matter. If the CD-R/W disk was previously used with packet writing
software and finalized then XP's built in software can't write to it. You
could have better luck using CD-R disks.

Re: Write protection error on CD-RW discs
Well the disk was a brand new CD-RW, never been used. Asa temporary solution I copied the same files (without
changing the attributes)to a new CD-R disk... no problems
using the same drive. Very odd....
