Photo Disc Write Protected

[scalerboy]

had pictures done at a local department store and purchased a disc with pictures on it from them. When i try to copy pictures to another disc it says disc write protected. any way around this? I figure the pictures are mine since I purchased the floppy.

is it a floppy disk? if it's a floppy disk sometimes you have to move that little tab at the top to set it so it's not write protected. if it's a cd i heard you can get a sharpie and do something to it so you can copy it
