Copying a bootable cdrom
Copying a bootable cdrom. I have a cdrom that I am trying to copy. It is a bootable cdrom. I can make a copy of it, but I can't boot off of it. I am assuming that I need to do something different in the mkisofs command. I even tried to to point the iso creation process at /dev/hda, but that did not work either. -- Mike Cannon Infrastructure Systems Administrator Vice President for Information Technology Purdue University 1061 Freehafer Hall (FREH) West Lafayette, IN 47907-1061 office phone: 765.494.6357 office fax: 765.496.1380 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The data on the original cdrom is an ISO9660 image, isn't it? So if you can boot the original CD you will be able to boot a copy of it. Well the mkisofs didn't work! I'm not an expert but as I understand it: When you mount a cdrom you can't/don't see the boot information. Therefore when making an iso, you don't get the boot information. I ended up using xdxroast, thank someone for that. Kind regards Carsten -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: ide-scsi question - Sorry
Sorry about the last mail. I have more information on my problem. On the machine where I have ide cdrom writers working, a cdrecord -scanbus provides: scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'MATSHITA' 'UJDA330 ' '1.04' Removable CD-ROM 0,1,0 1) * 0,2,0 2) * 0,3,0 3) * 0,4,0 4) * 0,5,0 5) * 0,6,0 6) * 0,7,0 7) * On the machine where it is NOT working, a cdrecord -scanbus provides: scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'COMPAQPC' 'DDYS-T18350N' 'B93E' Disk 0,1,0 1) * 0,2,0 2) 'COMPAQPC' 'DDYS-T18350N' 'B93E' Disk 0,3,0 3) * 0,4,0 4) * 0,5,0 5) * 0,6,0 6) * 0,7,0 7) * On the machine where it does not work I have a couple of scsi hard drives. I think by default the ide-scsi part is pointing to /dev/scd0 which could conflict with where the scsi disk is? Do I need to point the ide-scsi driver to a location and if so, how do I do that?

Re: hp-ux bootable cdrom
What is the exact size? Is it dividable by 2048? What I have: 561219584/2048=274033 yes, it is dividable by 2048 Dave is this the same file size as when it was on the HP-UX box? Joerg: I sent this back to you on Friday, in response to your question, but I have not heard back from you? Should I do something different with the image being that the size is divisible by 2048 and HP said to use RAW mode. Also the cdrom would boot the HP box, but eventually errored during a system restore. They could not mount the cdrom in an already booted HP system. So there is a possibility that the image I had needed to be modified to correct the system restore part, but what about not being able to mount the cd, might that bring me back to the RAW issue? -- Mike Cannon Infrastructure Systems Administrator Management Information Purdue University 1061 Freehafer Hall (FREH) West Lafayette, IN 47907-1061 office phone: 765.494.6357 office fax: 765.496.1380 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: hp-up bootable cdrom
with cdfs I get: file system not supported by the kernel. I don't see an option in make xconfig to compile it in either. I did an rgrep in /usr/src/kernel and found not hits?

cd to cd copy
Is it possible to burn a cd from a cd with out first making a iso? I use these commands to produce a cd: mkisofs -r -J -V cd_name -o cd_image img/ cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,0,0 -data cd_image We just received a new machine to set up as a universal cd writer. I want to put linux on it, but others want windows. Biggest complaint was they would not be able to simple copy cds, the would need to make iso first. Is there a way to just copy without making an iso.
