Could it be this simple?

According to: 
http://en.kioskea.net/faq/sujet-1209-creating-an-iso-image-under-linux

dd if=/dev/hdd of=mycd.iso

So I figured out that my cdr/dvdr is hdb (k3b tells me so), so I try:


dd if=/dev/hdb of=mycd.iso

and get the errors:

dd: reading `/dev/hdb': Input/output error
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes (0 B) copied, 0.0468789 seconds, 0.0 kB/s

The gnome panel shows the CD icon but the options are only to play the 
CD or eject it.

I tried a umount /dev/hdb but am told it is not mounted per mtab.

Any ideas?
