I had some family pictures sent to me and I saved them to my hard drive. I now am trying to save them on to a CD-R and I keep getting the message
" Cannot copy picture. Files on this CD-ROM are read only. You cannot copy or move files over to this CD-ROM drive. "
There are pictures already on this CD and I went into properties to change them from Read only to normal and it says I can't.
The pictures sent to me are not read only, so is there a way to save these on to a CD ?

The CD is CD-R (meaning writeable once).... not CD-RW (meaning re-writeable). Once you put any files on a CD-R during a single session, then you cannot add more later. The computer closed the volume probably.
You'll need to use another CD-R disc.

MIght be a windows glitch... copy all the files into a new folder or sinply duplicate the folder somewhere else on hard drive.. then try again... as for CDROM drive.. you do mean CDRW drive, correct?
