Data files on DVD disc stuck at read only
I have a new Gateway GT4020 desktop with XP Media
Edition.I have several plain text MS Word and
Notepad files on my desktop that I can't copy to
DVD. I am able to open them by clicking on them to
bring up Word or Notepad. When trying to copy to
DVD, I consistently get the error message "Windows
encountered a problem when trying to copy this
file".
I have "enable drag & drop" enabled. I never had
this problem with my replaced Gateway computer.
Please help me.
I was able to write files to a dvd-rw disc. However,
I can't alter the word files because I get the error
"can't change, read only. I can't change read only
status due to the error Access Denied".
Thanks,
Aaron

Hi aaron - Can you right click on the file you want to change and click properties. Under the 'General' tab is a box marked 'Read Only'. Is it checked? If so, uncheck it and see if that helps. Regards.
I know everything about nothing, nothing about everything and precious little about the bit in between.

No, this doesn't work. I get the error message Access Denied when trying to change the read only function
