CD ROM/ISO 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 favorite CD imaging tool. Copy the whole contents of the
disc into one single image file on your hard disk.
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 image from.
Specify the filename of the image, and save the CD ROM content in that file.
