Drawing saves to a CD/RW marked read-only

I'm sure to be spreading my ignorance, but can anybody tell me why, when I save a drawing to the CD/RW with Adaptec, it comes back as read only? More importantly, how can I correct it? I have searched the big ACAD 2000 book.

When you save it back to a HD just uncheck the read-only box in the
properties.

Nature of the product: CDR and CDRW are no substitution to hard drives and
ZIP type drives.

It's a natural confusion.

 

If you have a true cd-rw, formatted as a "floppy", the drawing
when copied to a cd-rw will NOT be read only.

 

However, you said you used Adaptec to save the drawing. If you
are using a cd-rw or a cd-r as a backup device using this software, then, yes,
they are read only devices and when written too, turn the properties of file
into read-only, because you can not copy over data saved in this manner, you can
only continue to add to the cd until it fills up. The difference is a cd-rw can
be reformatted and used over.
