Outlook 2000 save old email to a CD

I know how to create a .pst and export mail to it from a mail box but when I burn it to a CD I can not read it unless I save it to the hard disk first. I think it does this because when it is burnt to the CD the attributes of the .pst get changed to Read Only and Outlook can?t read it. After I save the .pst to the hard drive and clear the Read Only attribute I can open it just fine. I was wondering if there were any better ways to put the Outlook info like email, contacts, and calendars ontoa CD that easily readable and searchable.
