If scanbus gives you errors but you know your device name, you can also use this (assuming the cd drive is /dev/scd0):

# cdrecord dev=/dev/scd0 file.iso

I am booting from Puppy Linux 3.0.1.
The new puppy 5.0.1 ISO is on my USB drive.

Do I have to specify the file location to burn the ISO?

Your site has helped me out of a few jams.

Thanks

Iam new to all this, but I tried the command
# cdrecord -scanbus

But it spart out a series of errors,….. so I didnt know my device name to use the command as stated. so I googled and found this alternative.

# cdrecord -v /dev/cdwriter myisofile.iso

where myisofile.iso is the ISO file I want to burn, this worked for me.

Hi. I know that you can use dd to write .img to floppy, so it might also work for cd-roms.

Hi yogesh, im a 1 year linux terminal user but av never heard of a way that you can. It would be intersting to find out how so if you do come across a way you can please let me know. i know dd can be used to copy from cd to .iso file but not the otherway round.
