Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. 
Teach a man to fish and he will eat for the rest of his life.
-- Chinese proverb --

Any time you copy files to a DVD R or a CD R disk all the files are retaged as READ ONLY. you can copy the files back to the HD in ONE folder then use the DOS command to untag them , (attrib -a -r -s -h and use the wildcard command ) then copy them to a DVD RW or a CD RW disk and then they will not be retaged as read only. You can also use the Xcopy -Xcopy32 command or the XXCopy software)
