copying files/folders to CD-RW problem

[redflash]

Hi, When I copy to a CD-RW disc the folders/files are all in a 'Read Only' state and cannot be revised.
Any help will be appreciated. I am using Windows XP Pro.

You will need to format the disk for packet writing to achieve this (Direct CD , In-cd etc.).
Do you use burner software or windows xp buidt in burning.

HOW TO: Remove the Read-Only Attribute While You Copy Files from a CD-ROM in Windows 2000 (Q323002)

ArcSet -- Win9x, NT4, Win2K, WinME, XP
If you ever copied files from a CD-ROM to your hard drive, you've probably noticed that those files will be set to read-only, preventing you from modifying them. Removing the read-only attribute by hand can get really tedious, especially if you're looking at hundreds or thousands of files. ArcSet is a utility that does the job for you. It can automatically reset file attributes on specified files on a drive or in a folder, even recursing through subfolders.
