    Mine is a CD, and it comes up as no such file or directory. What do I do?
    Community Answer
    Format it, like nfts or so. If it shows up as no directory, try another CD, and if that doesn't work, your disc drive is broken.

    Community Answer
    If the attribute box is faded, that means it has an attribute attached to it. In this case, you would use Method 2 to remove the attribute.

    How can I delete read only files from cd or dvd?
    Community Answer
    You can't. You can only write over it if it's the type of cd/dvd that supports rewriting.
