That is the correct reflex. Copying a file to a CD sets it as read-only.
After you move it to a new hard drive, simply uncheck the Read-only
attribute of the fiel.

If you would search before posting a new thread, you would find this to be a
very common question with answers out there.

When I copy my database to a disk it always comes back as "READ ONLY". I
have enabled the properties (YES) but I still get the same results. Any
suggestions? Thanks.
