    Hi! I know I mentioned this before, but I have an external CD/DVD-RW drive. I was handling a CD with DOS games on it today, and, while I was writing to it, Explorer gave a CD is Read-only error. :( It was not right-away but occurred in the middle of the process. I tried to copy the games to another CD. Some files couldn't be read, and the same error occurred in the middle of what I could copy. Maybe I should use flash drives from now on.

    How old is the CD? It may have degraded to the point where it’s unviable.
    I would move to flash drives or SD cards.
