Yes everything is fine. As I said it is a CD that is perfectly well recognized in all CD drives that I have checked it. It was written ok and is read ok - I just cannot use xcdroast to make an iso of it. Do I need two drives for that?

It really seems to be something in xcdroast. Some missing click or maybe even a bug. > As far as copying the disc to hd , mkiso will do that and give you a > nice iso file to write from. in man mkisofs it reads: mkisofs takes a snapshot of a given directory tree, and generates a binary image which will correspond to an ISO9660 or HFS filesystem when written to a block device. As I understand it this is the same as copying the contents of the CD to the HD and then let xcdroast burn it (using again mkisofs). But I would like to have some program that rips the whole CD and makes the corresponding iso - complete with Label, bootable/not bootable. To be exact: A tool to copy CDs 1:1. It doesn't need to circumvent copy-protection since this one hasn't any (but it would be nice of course) some odd things (I don't know if they are relevant): pm@merlin:~$ /usr/bin/readcd bash: /usr/bin/readcd: Permission denied there's no man readcd on my system... the permission for readcd is: -rwxr-s--- 1 root cdwriter 117720 Apr 12 21:05 readcd I am now in group cdwriter. patrik
