Yes, readcd ---------------------- Disclaimer: Do not make a copy if it is prohibited. Below is my experimental result which used Windows disk as one of the example. ----------------------- Make an image file of CD
Some CD-R and commercial CD have junk sectors at the end which makes copy by dd impossible (Windows 98 CD is one of it). The cdrecord package comes with readcd command. Use this to copy any CD contents to image file. If it is a data disk, mount it and run "mount" to see actual size. Divide number shown (in blocks=1024byte) by 2 to get number of actual CD sectors (2048 Byte). Run readcd with option and use this disk image to burn CD-R/RW. # readcd [target] [lun] [scsibusno] # select function 11 Here, set all 3 command line parameter to 0 for most case. Sometimes number of sector given by readcd has few excess! Use above number from actual mount for better result. My CD-R = +2 sectors MS Windows CD = +1 sector, i.e., +2048 byte On Thu, Apr 12, 2001 at 10:57:17AM +1000, Brian May wrote: > Is it possible to copy a CD using command line tools?
