Re: [CentOS] iso creation with dd

I placed a CD in a drive. I ran sudo dd sudo dd if=/dev/cdrom of=HMI_B_Image_File_4-23-09_disk_1.iso

It completed. I then transferred the ISO file to an XP machine, use Sonic to burn the ISO file to another CD, and there was a file missing (the largest) in the burned CD.

Seems like the data got transferred through the dd, but not a file name. What might I be doing wrong?

Though it may work, I'd never use dd to make an ISO image, try mkisofs, see if you have better luck with that.

And if you want a block for block copy I'd use cdrdao (don't think this is included in standard CentOS distribution).
