    Question Natty 32bit - Help creating iso image from CDrom using Cli

    Hi there,

    I seem to be running into issues as I try to use the CLi to create an iso image of a cdrom that I have in my drive.

    Here's what I've tried so far:

    Code:
    alex@griever:~$ dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/disc1.iso
    dd: reading `/dev/cdrom': Input/output error
    48+0 records in
    48+0 records out
    24576 bytes (25 kB) copied, 0.00641352 s, 3.8 MB/s
    alex@griever:~$ dd if=/dev/scd0 of=cd.iso
    dd: reading `/dev/scd0': Input/output error
    48+0 records in
    48+0 records out
    24576 bytes (25 kB) copied, 0.00656128 s, 3.7 MB/s
    alex@griever:~$
    As you can see I've tried both /dev/cdrom and /dev/scd0 and didn't really get very far.

    Could someone help tell me what I'm doing wrong?

    They're both symlinks to /dev/sr0 which usually works for me. I don't know why the symlinks don't work, but try:

    Code:
    sudo dd if=/dev/sr0 of=path/to/file.iso

    can you give me an example of what to put in for the Path to file?

    Oh I see what you changed... the /sr0 part

    got it, let me give it a try.

    Yep, still got the same issue:

    Code:
    alex@griever:~$ sudo dd if=/dev/sr0 of=~/disc1.iso
    dd: reading `/dev/sr0': Input/output error

    To be honest, I'm mystified. I wonder if the cdrom is faulty. Try with another CDROM. If dd works with another cdrom, then the one you are trying to copy may be faulty. Or try Brasero or k3b - both GUI apps. If you use Brasero, you choose "Create a 1:1 copy of a CD" and then specify an ISO as output.

    that's weird that you would think it would be faulty, because I can read and write things to and from it just fine.

    ill try brasero

    and ill reply back.

    Wait did you mean the CDrom? or my cd drive? because I've been able to write things to cdroms and dvds just fine.

    Yes, I was careless with my terminology. I was wondering if the actual CD disc was faulty. But a misreading optical drive could be another possibility.

    Just got done trying using it. It read it and started copy to an image file,

    I dont believe that if it was an actual issue with my drive that it would be able to burn files and images to cds like I have been, right? I mean if it was an issue with the drive, I dont think it'd read it at all.

    Well.... I have a SATA CD/DVD drive that occasionally goes all moody on me. Most of the time it works well <snip>.

    I have no idea what is going on there.

    I ran a few tests that you can look at on my video I made. they may help you help me identify the issue:

    ----
    For some reason the audio when it was processed decided to go fast and near chipmunk like. but either way, you'll still get to see what im talking about... Sorry for the shotty video o.O
    It may still be being processed, so give it a minute: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-654IJnpGw
