I am just guessing here. What happen if you right-click on the disk properties; can you change it from read only to achived? If all else failed; maybe you can do all this from the friend's computer (WAG). Good luck.
Imation CD-RW media that was formatted and has about 550 MB of data on it, both music and data.
I have 3 PC's with CD/RW buners's, no problem writing, reading and re-writing to this CD-RW media between the 3 PC's. 2 of these PC also have DVD-RW drives which have read and written to this CD-RW media also.
Yesterday I took this CD-RW media and placed it in a friends DVD-RW/CD-RW burner to copy a file off it onto his PC. As I ejected the CD-RW media it maked this media as read only. Thus I can no longer read the data on the CD-RW media.
Roxio 7 and Nero6 SE suite can read the CD-RW media data into an ISO file but when I try to read or extract
data from this ISO file I get errors and incompatible file system format.
Is there a way to recover this data from the CD-RW media?
Thanks
