I would like to create a bootable DVD containing Win7 from an official Microsoft ISO that I have on a CentOS-6.5 box. Is this even possible? If so then how is it done using CentOS?
If I must create a Win7 repair disk on a Windows machine then this will be possible, but somewhat logistically challenging. I would much rather just get it done with the tools I have to hand.

The same way as you create a bootable CentOS DVD from an official CentOS ISO.
I use growisofs for this.

Doing a bit of highjacking, how to create the ISO from the original DVD? Would dd do the trick? I need to make a bootable usb with Win7.

Try it and see what happens?

You can not and ideally you should not use anything but M$ tools for that. This is written in M$ End User License Agreement. However, Microsoft gives you a tool to create boot disk and system image, you can use those to achieve your goal.

It's possible.
1) dd can do the job as others have pointed out. Clone to image or image to physical disc. 2) Use whatever other CD/DVD burning software you choose (CLI or GUI tool). Suggestions at [0] ... begin reading at section 4.7 for burning tools on CentOS [1]

If I remember correctly, Windows does give an option to create an ISO instead of burning the restore disk to a physical disc.

While it may be in the Microsoft agreement, would they really be able to tell you used dd to clone the disc to an ISO? It's a trivial problem and one that won't come to light unless a person is illegally distributing install discs and what not. Furthermore it doesn't matter in the whole scope of things so I'll stop here being off-topic.

This is kind of philosophical question. Will you be able to reverse engineer closed source google portion of Android kernel? With some knowledge, yes. Will you be able to admit you did it (without risk of getting into jail for illegal activity)? Definitely: No. It is reverse engineering that is made by the law in many countries that is illegal. So we are being carried away from the topic more and more... Yet, even when we disagree with some laws, the wisdom would suggest to obey, and fight them legal way. And keep warning about what is not legal so others do not get into trouble (and develop appropriate attitude?).
