IIRC, if you used dd to grab the CD's data from a raw device, e.g.
"dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/some/file", then "/some/file" will be an ISO
image since you grabbed the sector-by-sector layout of the disk. This
is handy to make copies of CDs. I've done it many times.
Ok look I appoligise for taking over this thread I am leaving it alone
after this response.
Hi Rick you are quite right about the CDs but if you where paying
attention :~> you would see that I created this image from a Hard drive
connected via a USB port not a cd. I know that with CDs it works, and
what has got Andy interested is that fact that its not supposed to be
possible to mount an image of a hdd as an iso9660.
What does "mount" say the filesystem is? If the hdd partition is
iso9660 (and it certainly can be), it'll mount.
Anyway thanks for your 2c. in truth I was just trying to help Guolin
and it seems we are taking over his thread and not solving his problem.
If need be I will start a new thread for this discussion,
Yeah, I'll butt out now.
