Command to make a CD/DVD ISO Image in Linux with dd

Tagged with: , , , , , ,

This command can be used to create an image of a CD/DVD/HDD. You can also use some GUI tool like K3B to do this.

Make sure that the CD is unmounted before running this command


dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cd_image.iso

    FYI dd is making a copy of an existing iso9660 file structure from the CD to the output file, dd can not create an iso9660 image from scratch.
