write on read only cd

Make sure that the file isn't marked "read only" because of being burned to the CD (read only media). You can check this by right clicking on the file and looking at it's properties.

Good luck...hope this helps.

pdf's can be write protected from acrobat as well.

First you need to copy the pdf file to your hdd. Then right-click on it and un-check the read only attribute. Save and see if you can edit the document afterward.

Well, since you've been given a read only CD [as stated in the heading of your question] in which to edit a file, your task is not possible. All you can to is read. You can not edit, make a change and save those changes to the original file contained on a read only CD [though you probably knew that already]. To solve your dimlema, open the document, edit, save as to a folder on your computer. If you must return to edited document to whomever, Burn a new CD with the updated document.

Copy the file to your PC. Then right click on it choose properties and uncheck read only.

Any file that is placed on a CD-ROM will have it's attributes set to read only.

1. Copy the file from the CD to your hard drive.
2. Locate the file in Windows Explorer and right click it.
3. Pick properties and uncheck the box that says Read Only.
4. Apply the properties

You will now be able to edit the file.
