CD ROM/ISO 9660 Images
UNIX and UNIX-like OS
To create an image file make use of “dd”. This is one of the original UNIX
utilities and is included in every UNIX-like OS (UNIX, Sun Solaris, Linux). To
create a CDROM image file copy the contents of the CDROM to a file. You
can use the following command:
dd [
if=/dev/cdrom
] [
of=/tmp/cdrom.image
]
dd reads the entire disc from the device
/dev/cdrom
and saves the output
in the specified output file
/tmp/cdrom.image
. Adjust both parameters
exactly to your needs (input device etc.).
MS Windows
To create the image file use your favourite CD imaging tool. Copy the whole
contents of the disc into one single ISO image file on your harddisk. For
example, with “Nero” you choose “Copy and Backup”. Then, navigate to the
Copy Disc section. Select the CD ROM or DVD drive you would like to
create an ISO image from. Specify the filename of the ISO image and save
the CD ROM content in that file.
