Remove wheel status of cdr with photos on it

problem change the read only on a cdr with photos on it...

Hi qruvic,

Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

Looks like this read-only status has been added when you wrote the data on the CD.

You can optionally change the status read-only on a CD - R once data is written on this subject.

However, you can copy the contents of the CD, save it to your drive and try to change the attributes.

Method 1: Remove the read-only file attribute in the file properties

To change a read-only file:

1. right click on the file and then click Properties.

2. in the Properties dialog box, click the general tab, and then select the read-only check box.

3. to make changes to a read-only file, clear the read-only check box, or save the file under a different name.

Reference:

If you are still unable to do so by following the steps above, then you try this method.

Method 2: Remove the read-only attribute while copying the files using the Xcopy command

You can use the xcopy command to remove the read-only attribute while you copy files from a CD-ROM. Xcopy.exe resets the read-only attributes unless you specify another by using the /k switch (this switch copies attributes). To use this method:

1. click on start and then click Run.
2. in the Open box, type cmd and then click OK.
3. type xcopy drive letter:-*. * destination/e/h, where drive letter is the letter of the CD-ROM drive and is the path to the destination for the destination files and then press ENTER

It should work. Kind regards
