Windows 2000 folders refuses

A folder I created on windows 2002 refuses to unset the read-only attribute. I created a folder copied some files to it and then copied the folder to the CD-R. Wher I restored the folder on the PC desktop it was read-only. I tried to unset the read-only attribute it unchecks but still return the read-only. I tried to reaname the folder still got the same results. Please help..! What is it that I have not done to make this folder normal?
