Creating/Mounting/Burning ISOs in Linux

Creating an ISO:

1. First make sure everything using the cd/dvd drive is closed
2. Unmount the cd/dvd drive:

• sudo umount /dev/dvd1

3. Create the copy:

• readom dev=/dev/dvd1 f=disk1.iso

4. Verify the copy:

• md5sum /dev/dvd1

• md5sum disk1.iso

If you are getting read errors, you can use safecopy:

• safecopy /dev/dvd1 disk1.iso

Mounting an ISO:

• sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 disk1.iso /mnt/iso

Burning an ISO:

• wodim dev=/dev/cdrw -v -data disk1.iso
