Write protection prevents a CD from being changed or modified. However, you can remove the write protection if you wish to add more contents or edit existing data. Microsoft Windows gives you an option to enable CD recording on a protected disk. Please note you will need a CD/DVD writer to perform this task.
Step 1
Insert the protected CD into your CD/DVD drive. Ignore the "Autorun" dialog box that pops up.
