copying files to CD-RW //read only status

I recently changed from Windows ME to XP Professional. The
formating of a disc in the CD-RW drive seems to occur as
you add individual files. Is there a way to format the
disc all at once and after that, how do you make the
copied files NOT be read only. I am unable to reset the
permissions attribute for the files I want to copy to the
disc.

Anything copied to a disc is automatically "read only", you need to copy
back onto your hard drive and then remove the "read only" attribute.

You need to obtain third party CDRW software like Roxio or Nero
