These commands can be used to create an image of a CD/DVD/HDD. You can also use some GUI tool like K3B to do this. Use one any of the three commands…
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cd_image.iso
cat /dev/cdrom >image.iso
readcd dev=device f=image.raw

I once got a DAA file from a P2P network. Initally I was at a lose about how to extract the data. Finally I found a method that works. First get the ‘poweriso’ utilty for Linux. You can get it at the PowerISO website
Then convert the DAA file to a regular ISO file using this command…
poweriso convert daa_image.daa -o iso_image.iso -ot iso

Mounting ISO Images in Linux
