Read only file problem

I manage a small business network. I currently have 2 Win2003 Standard
servers and one W2K Server. Recently I decided to revamp the network from two
W2K servers to the Win2003 configuration mentioned above. I backed up all my
data and then did a clean install and formatted the disks as NTFS basic
disks. I did not observe anything abnormal with the installation other than
the fact that setup created the system partition as drive G rather than drive
C. I didn’t notice the G drive designation until installation was completed.
The letters C and G look very similar in the setup DOS-like screen.

I restored my data to the newly formatted disks without incident however,
every single file and folder on every logical drive as well at the G drive is
indicated as being partially read only (the read only check box is checked
and grayed out). I've tried to clear the read only box and apply and it looks
like it works, but the next time I check the properties it is back the way it
was. I've tried everything I can think of and nothing works.

This is not debilitating but it is very annoying. I'm not sure if it is
related but my antivirus uses IIS to locally host the web based console and
every single time I open the console I have to go to the program folder and
add the IUsr_<SERVER> account. This account always gets removed after I exit
the console.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Read only attribute at folder level is normal behavior and should not give
you any problem.

Here is more information about it:

You Cannot View or Change the Read-Only or System Attribute of Folders
