    Sure we all know the command to burn a CD from an ISO with cdrecord:
    CODE
    # cdrecord  dev=/dev/hdc  example.iso
  1. Now we will reverse the process and I will show you 2 different ways how to make an ISO from a CD:
    CODE
    # cat /dev/hdc > example.iso

  2. And
    CODE
    # dd if=/dev/hdc of=example.iso bs=2048 conv=notrunc

  3. Both commands do exactly the same, but the first one might be easier to remember.

  4. NOTE: You use the /dev device in both cases and not the place where it is mounted ( /mnt ).
