Cannot Remove Read-Only Attribute

I've seen may posts on this but none of which have worked for me. I
created a new volume and moved all the data we had in our other volume
into this new volume. Now all the folders/files are read-only and it
is greyed out. If I try to unselect read only it seems like it
marking them all but when I go back into properties it is back to read-
only again. If I create a new file or folder then it is not read-
only. It seems to be only the folders/files that I copied over.

I've tried this link:

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=326549

but when I type in the command "attrib -r -s d:\Company
Files" (without the quotes) I get the below message

parameter format not correct -

I'm really struggling with this and cannot seem to get it working.
Please help.

Would like to know , if the folders are being accessed by the users...

Run Chkdsk. The Read Only checkmark is ignored by the OS. Don't worry
about the check box. Check the security settings.

You can't change it. The files are accessible and writeable.

You clear it, it comes back. It's just cosmetic.
