Create an ISO Image from a CD or DVD in Ubuntu

1. Insert the CD or DVD that you want to make an ISO image of.
2. Open a terminal window.
3. Execute the following command:
cat /dev/scd0 > /home/shamanstears/test.iso

where /dev/scd0 is the device name for your drive (to find this, go to disk utility. Also make sure to change the path and iso filename to the desired path and filename.
The disc will begin to spin and the ISO image will start being constructed. Once it has completed, you have an ISO image of your CD. To verify that the image was properly created, mount the ISO file and check the contents.
