I'm copying from a file from hard disk to a DVD+RW from within Cygwin. I 
noticed that the copied file on the destination DVD becomes read-only 
automatically. If I do a chmod +w on the file, the file becomes writable only 
momentarily before becoming readonly again! Does someone know what is it that 
I'm doing wrong?

I'm accessing both the drives as /cygdrive/c and /cygdrive/d, the latter being 
the DVD+RW drive and the former my hard disk.

Tia,
Some Developer.
