Creating a CD/DVD ISO Image
On Windows:
To create a disk image file, use your favorite CD imaging tool. Copy all the contents of the disk into
one single disk image file on your hard disk.
For example, with "Nero" you should select "Copy and Backup". Then, click on the "Copy Disk"
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.
Above: The Nero program is one of several programs you can use to create a CD/DVD disk image.
On UNIX and UNIX-like OSes:
To create a disk image file, you can use the dd command. This is one of the original UNIX utilities
and is included in every UNIX-like OS (UNIX, Sun Solaris, and Linux).
To create a CD-ROM image file, copy the contents of the CD-ROM to a file. You can use the
following command:
dd [ if=/dev/cdrom ] [ of=/tmp/cdrom.image ]
dd reads the entire disk from the device /dev/cdrom, and saves the output in the specified output
file /tmp/cdrom.image. Adjust both parameters to suit your requirements (input device, etc.).
