Is this a CDR that you're trying to save the file on?

If you have closed the current session or if the disc was written with packet writing software that isn't available on your machine, then the disc will be treated like any other CD and you won't be able to write to it. Also, if you use a CDR, then you won't be able to replace any files on it once they have been written, regardless of what you used to write the CD with.

What I'd suggest is that you copy all the contents of the CD onto a folder on your hard drive, edit the INI file and then burn them back to CDR when you have the final thing ready. If you need to do this often, then I'd suggest using a CDRW and burning it with something like Nero and not DirectCD or its equivalent.
