how to extract an ISO image from a CD
Hi,
How can I extract an ISO image from a CD? I tried: $ dd if=/dev/scd0 of=image.iso dd: lecture de `/dev/scd0': Erreur d'entrée/sortie 968472+0 enregistrements lus. 968472+0 enregistrements écrits. 495857664 bytes transferred in 427,045883 seconds (1161134 bytes/sec) But as you can see on the second line, it ends with an 'I/O error'. Thanks for your help, David. |
Do you have enough space on the drive you are attempting to write to? can you mount the CD --is the disk good?
|
Thank you for this suggestion, but yes I have enough space left. I tried this dd command on 2 different computers (different config and distro), and with 2 CDs (one of mine and a commercial one).
I think you'll have the same result if you try on your computer, won't you? David. |
I don't, actually, usually get that error message. However, dd could give that error message if it's just streaming data from a block device (CDROM) to a file and the block device unexpectedly ends. Try mounting the resulting file:
Code:
mount -o loop image.iso /mnt |
