• Creating a CD ROM/ISO Image
o CD-ROM/ISO Images For 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, and 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.).
o CD-ROM/ISO Images For 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.
