From the menu, select the tab “Read”. Enter (or select) the name of the file in which the floppy

CD-ROM/ISO Images

Unix, Solaris, Linux

To create an image file, use the “dd” command in the operating system. This is a standard

command included with most Unix, Solaris, and Linux distributions.

To create a CDROM image file, copy the contents of the CDROM to a file. The following

command can be used:

dd [ if=/dev/cdrom ] [ of=/tmp/cdrom.image ]

In this example, dd reads the entire disc from the device /dev/cdrin, and saves the output in the

specified output file /tmp/cdrom.image.

MS Windows

To create the image file, use a third party CD imaging tool. Copy the whole contents of the disc

into one single image file on the local hard disk.

For example, with “Nero” software, choose “Copy and Backup”. Then, navigate to the “Copy

Disc” section. Select the CD-ROM or DVD drive to create an image from. Specify the filename of

the image, and save the CD-ROM contents in that file.
