To copy a CD in clone mode, first read the master CD using:
readom dev=b,t,l -clone f=somefile
or (in case the CD contains many sectors that are unreadable by intention) by calling:
readom dev=1,0 -clone -nocorr f=somefile
will create the files somefile and somefile.toc. Then write the CD using:
wodim dev=1,0 -raw96r -clone -v somefile
I am readom-ing ... already
still awaiting for results ... maybe it is ok, let's see
K3B didnt work
you waana to make a clonecd of your installed system?
or what?
what are you trying to put on cd?
I have got an old cdrom that I had some 10years ago for installing my old pc with windows. That was a toshiba. It has scratches. K3b did manage to make an iso of it. the clonecd, I recall did it under windows, last time I try to save it. I had a crash of harddisk, one, so that iso is gone.
I try to reinstall an old pc, and using a clone cdrom to pass through the cluster that are not available. That did last time, well, was 2-3 years ago lol
I guess that cdrecord -clone can be promising
Let's install it. It's an old computer that'll take long. I am making a dual boot. I will have to reinstall the grub after that. I put the original preinstalled cdrom that I had with the bought machine. Once it is loaded it was bit faster than linux stable.
