Assuming that you copied the folders to a folder called "images"...
Open a terminal (with right click in the file manager)
Type:

Code: Select all

chmod -R 644 /images
That should do the trick.

The copies are write protected by default, since you're copying everything, INCLUDING their permissions from the CD, and since a CD per is write protected, you inherit this settings by default, the behavior is the same in all OS'es by the way.
