It's probably _not_ "owner rights" that are upsetting your attempts to 
save the image (back over itself.)  Files copied from a CDROM are marked 
as Read-Only -- because - Taa!-Daa! - files on a CDROM are _not_ 
writeable.  When you copy them down to your hard-drive they are marked 
r-xr-xr-x (or, for you winderz users: the attributes are set to R/O.)  
Just chmod the file to 600 (or, ATTRIB -R .)

"Owner Rights" are something else entirely -- a whole separate topic.
