You must copy the file to your local hard drive and turn off the read-only flag.

I just got a new computer after 6 years (yay) and now have Office 2003 on XP
MCE. My life is in my 2000 .pst file and would love to import it into Office
2003. I have exported it, burned it to a cd. The file attributes (BEFORE
BURNING TO CD) are set to ARCHIVE; however, when it is burned to a CD it
somehow says "READ ONLY" and when I try to change the attributes to archive,
I'm told I don't have the rights to change the attributes, making it
impossible for me to import this file.

Has anyone done this yet and succeeded? My kingdom for some help!
Thanks in advance,
