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.
