UNIX and UNIX-like OS (UNIX, Solaris, Linux)

If you like to access the share via SAMBA, SAMBA has to be set up properly. You may either edit the SAMBA configuration file /etc/samba/smb.conf, or use the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT) or WebMin to set the correct parameters.

Create a CD-ROM Image

UNIX and UNIX-like OS

To create an image file, make use of “dd”. This is one of the original UNIX utilities and is included in every UNIX-like OS (UNIX, Sun Solaris, Linux).

To create a CDROM image file, copy the contents of the CDROM to a file. You can use the following command:

dd[ if=/dev/cdrom ] [ of=/tmp/cdrom.image ]

dd reads the entire disc from the device /dev/cdrom, and saves the output in the specified output file /tmp/cdrom.image. Adjust both parameters exactly to your needs (input device etc.).

MS Windows

To create the image file, use your favorite CD imaging tool. Copy the whole contents of the disc into one single image file on your hard disk.

For example, with “Nero” you choose “Copy and Backup”. Then, navigate to the “Copy Disc ” section. Select the CD-ROM or DVD drive you would like to create an image from. Specify the filename of the image, and save the CD- ROM content in that file.
