How to burn ISO disc images
When I follow your instructions it appears the CD is not bootable (in a PC) -- is there a ''bootable'' flag somewhere they I have to enable??
How to burn ISO disc images
I found this at slashdotdash. It is really useful for creating iso files in 10.4 - especially stubborn ones that won't build through disk util:
1. Insert CD/DVD source 2. From the terminal you need to discover the location of your CD-ROM: $ drutil status You are looking for the following - Name: /dev/disk1 3. Umount the disk with the following command: $ diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk1 4. Create the ISO file with the dd utility: $ dd if=/dev/disk1 of=file.iso bs=2048 5. Test the ISO image by mounting the iso: $ hdid file.iso 6. Burn or store the ISO. To remount the CD, use $ diskutil mountDisk /dev/disk1 If you need to burn a bootable disk (or one with hidden sectors like say a Windows install disk), replace the command: $ dd if=/dev/disk1 of=file.iso bs=2048 With $ dd if=/dev/disk1s0 of=file.iso bs=2048 I've never had this fail on me. But be warned, you can hose a lot with the dd command. Ref: http://www.slashdotdash.net/articles/2006/08/14/create-iso-cd-dvd-image-with-mac-os-x-tiger-10-4 |
