Copy the folders and files to the HD.
SIngle click the folder.
Get info.
Go down to where the permissions are and change them to you.
Click, Apply to all enclosed folders and files
Should do the trick.
Those files belonged to someone else when you copied them to a cd. Your machine has changed completely and now belongs to someone else, you!

I copied files to a CD befofe doing a clean-install.
Now when I transferred these files from the CD to my hard drive, all folders are locked. Why are the folders and sub-folders locked?
Locked from the original copy to my CD?
Takes a good amount of time to unlock these folders.
Why does this happen?
Why do I have an Admin linked to some of these folders.
I am unable to change or delete these folders.
How can I over-ride the older admin folders and become the admin? Weird!
