Dear All I need to burn data cd on my CentOS and open the pdf file on my MS Windows client . My cd drive is at /dev/cdrom that is mounted as /mnt/cdrom . To this end , I issued as the following : #cdrecord -v dev=/dev/cdrom myfile But the file cannot be opened on ms MS Windows , nor the cd is usable afterwards . Can you please let me know how can I burn this data cd ?
cdrecord needs a .ISO file as its input. you can use mkisofs to create one fromm file(s), its a fairly complex command with a LOT of options, but at its simplest, creating a simple RockRidge CD-ROM,
mkisofs -o mycd.iso -r dir-with-files
the specified dir will become the root of the CD. then you can use cdrecord to burn mycd.iso ... see the respective man pages for more options.
