Will someone please help me? I have been trying for over seven hours to
copy pictures from my hard drive to my hp cd-writer 8200 series, but I
keep getting the message that the CD-RW (which already has pictures on
it) is write-protected. I have also tried to do the same using my
laptop's CD burner and get the same message.

How in the world do I remove the write-protect feature so that I may
add more data to the CD-RW? And how did it get write-protected to
begin with? This is very frustrating!! I thought that the whole
purpose of a CD-RW is that you can keep adding data until the disc is
full (which this shouldn't be, since it only has 75 pics on it and I
have another one with over 500 pics on it).

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the hp cd-writer 8200 driver to my
computer twice. I have restarted the computer both times.
