Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Disks / File System / February 2004Permission to open file
When I try to save to my CD (D drive) I get the following message: "You do not have permission to open this file See the owner of this file or an administrator to open this file" As a result, I am unable to download anything to the CD. I do not have any passwords on the computer, nor is it networked. I have no idea what I may have done to cause this to happen. I would appreciate any help I might receive. CDs are read-only. You cannot save files to a CD. The message you get is the standard Windows message when you attempt to write to read-only media.

I have a CD-RW drive with a CD-RW disk in the drive. I have always been able to save to the CD, however, somehow, I must have done something to antagonize it and I keep getting the "Need permission" message. >-----Original Message----- >CDs are read-only.

Have you confirmed that your CD/RW software (eg, Direct CD) is loading and running correctly? For instance, if you look at drive properties can you confirm that a CD/RW disk is inserted, there is free space, it is using the correct file system, and you have the usual options to format, erase etc? Are you sure that the CD/RW has been created in rewriteable mode? A CD/RW created as standard ISO, for instance, is not writeable, even though the media and the drive are both RW. Are you sure that you are not trying to overwrite a file or folder on the disk that is marked as read-only? If so, you need to remove the read-only setting before overwriting them SignatureJeff Richards MS MVP W95/W98 > I have a CD-RW drive with a CD-RW disk in the drive.
