Re: Removing read only attributes on folders

Did you try using other software such as that which may have come with the
DVD burner and also try logging on as an administrator if you are not as I
have heard of some cases where users had problems burning to CD/DVD when not
logged on as a local administrator? You can use the command net localgroup
administrators to see what users are members of the administrators group.
Also use services.msc to make sure that the Imap CD Burning service is
configured with startup type manual or automatic and not disabled and if it
is automatic it should be started. If it is set to manual try to start it to
see if that helps. It may also help to look in the logs via Event Viewer to
see if any warning/error messages are shown time stamped when you have a
problem that may give a clue as to what is going on.

I have never seen such a problem in that the read only attribute would
not
allow a copy operation. A couple things I would try though is to copy
those
files to another folder on your computer and then try to copy them to the
DVD to see if that makes a difference or not. Try copying just a few of
them
to see if that works or not. Try making a zip file out of them and then
copy
that. If all else fails try using the built in ntbackup to back the files
up
to large backup file and then try to copy that to the DVD. If you try
using
the zip file or ntbakup do a dry run of restoring them to make sure it
all
works a expected. I also like using Norton Ghost to make image type
backups
and Norton lets you view and extract files from an image.

Hi, im havig this problem: Im trying to save all my pics to a dvd
for
safe storage (approx 3.5 gigs worth). problem copying box pops up, says
,windows encountered a problem when trying to copy this file. what do
you
want to do ? retry cancel.
I was told to remove the read only attrib and did (for the files inside
the
folders) I was told the folder attrib didnt matter and I get that part.
But
still cannot copy the files individually or as folders.I have gone into
Registry Editor, as told here
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256614/EN-US/
Article 256614 Revis 5.1. Having trouble with number 7 on the list
here
it
is; 7. After you make this change to the registry, you must change the
Read-Only attribute for all affected folders by using the attrib
command
at a
command prompt (Command.com or Cmd.exe). Type attrib /? at the command
prompt
to view the syntax for the attrib command. For example, to change the
Read-Only attribute to System for the C:\Test folder, use the following
command:
attrib -r +s c:\test mine would be, attrib -r +s c:\all pics I
do
that, and get message, parameter format not correct, what am i doing
wrong
please help. I have been researching for awhile and notice this sort of
problem alot but not the last part of the ? So now I ask for anybodys
help
please. All of my pictures of familly is on it and I dont want to lose
them
thanks for your time. thanks Ray Jr
