Default Excel files become "Read Only" after copying to CD; WHY?

I may be having a bran hic-up.... I'm having the same issue with both my 6
year old computer and my brand new one. Maybe it's the disk; but I can't
figure that to be. Although I'll admit I'm not as up to speed as I should
when it comes to selecting the right CDs.

Either way, I copy an Excel file to the CD. I then later try to copy over
that file because I've updated it. I'm using the CD as a back up. Every
time I do this I have to recreate another folder, and copy it under another
file name because it won't allow me to overwrite the existing file because it
states "access denied, file is read only". The profiles of the original file
verify the file is not designated as a "Read Only" file.

What am I doing wrong?
