I backed up my October Outlook to a CD - the personal
folders, archive, database -

My system had to be restored.

Now when I try to import or open the folders, there is a
message that the disc is read only, I can't copy, move,
change - do anything! I'm the owner of the computer and
the disc and the data and the software!

It was just a Staples CD-RW I saved to - I did nothing
special to it - why does it have attributes now?

I'm stuck and can't get to my all important contact data -
I was able to get all my other backed up data on CDs-
Word, Excel - an older version of a back-up disk of
Outlook I had (same deal - unfortunately outdated data
from Jume not October)

Wazzup

Any ideas?
 
And after copying it to your hard drive, right click and select properties.
Remove the check from the Read-Only option.
