Re: copying files to cd

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Any files on a CD are Read-only.

Copy whatever files, or all of the files, from the CD to the hard drive on your laptop. Then do whatever you like with them. Then copy them back to your desktop machine.

A USB Flash Drive is really handy for this kind of thing. You can buy a 1GB USB Flash Drive for about $40 and you do not have to buy blank media for it.
