- What type of drive is this and how is it connected to your machine?
(Memory-based? Disk-based? Internal? External? Removable?) (Network
share? USB drive? Internal IDE? Internal SATA? Firewire?)
- What is the specific name brand, model number and size of the drive in
question?
- What 'knowledgebase' article are you referring to? (KB######?)

Looking at your other posts...

You said, "If I open a document, change it and save it gives me a save as
box, when I save it or replace both options still give me a read only file"
-- are you saying you *can* save it - but the file becomes/shows as
read-only in the properties or are you saying when you attempt to save it
some message comes up stating you cannot? If the latter - please quote the
message word-for-word here.

- What does Disk Management show for the drive?

I was asking about Disk Management to see if how it shows this one drive
that has read-only 'problem' - has the correct size, no empty space, etc?

The KB article is unlikely to be your prblem - because you are speaking of
individual files. The article title says it all...
"You cannot view or change the Read-only or the System attributes of folders
in Windows Server 2003, in Windows XP, or in Windows Vista"

"... of folders ..."

I have a drive which is read only for some unknown reason
can not change
any suggestions

It might have helped if you told us what type of drive it was.

If it is a FLASH stick, then the FLASH memory chip has failed (they have a
limited life).

not remove read only flag
