Windows 98 does things differently. Files on a read-only medium such
as a CD-ROM keep the read-only attribute when you copy to a writeable
partition, so you need to make the files writeable using attrib -r from
the MS-DOS prompt or do a lot of pointing and clicking from explorer.

Linux will keep the write permission bits when you copy the file from
a file system mounted read-only to a writeable file system.
