Creating an ISO from CD/DVD
By nick | Tech Support, Uncategorized21 Oct 2010
Having recently built a computer system without a DVDR drive I soon realised the obvious, organisations are still forcing the use of their wasteful media when online content could be made available quite easily.
Luckily I had my laptop to hand and was able to create an ISO image of the CD which I could then store on my file server and use when required and not have to worry about misplacing it.
This should work on pretty much any Linux/BSD OS:
Open a terminal in your Window Manager (or l-alt+F6):
Make sure your CDROM/DVD is in the drive and umounted, some distributions like Ubuntu auto mount, if this is the case use the following command first:
umount /dev/cdrom
Create the ISO image:
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cd.iso
You can now copy the ISO over the network and mount it using tools such as MagicDisc
