Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Yes sir,

you are right,I have met this problem,and to overcome this.I copy the files to my Hard disk then I go to properties and I change the file attribute to archeive instead of Read only.

But I don,t know whether there is a choice in the burning CD, to copy and change the file attribute to archeive(I.e not read only)?

thanks

Back up to a CD. When you burn something on a CD the software makes everthing read only. This is why you can not run it from a Cd. Regards, Robin Jongen

P3 will not read files from a CD. Use the P3 back-up function to minimise file size when backing up, then restore from the CD to your computer/server.

well, try to copy those files to ur hard drive. then change them to a readable status. then, they should be workable one if they were not damaged.
If u will not be able to copy them, it means u have a bad cd copy, ... not usable.
wishing it was of some help. Mohd
