"$ dd bs=32 if=/dev/cdrom1 of=FS2004_4.iso
dd: lendo `/dev/cdrom1': Erro de entrada/saÃda
48384+0 registros de entrada
48384+0 registros de saÃda"

"$ dd bs=32 if=/dev/hdd of=FS2004_4.iso
dd: lendo `/dev/hdd': Erro de entrada/saÃda
48384+0 registros de entrada
48384+0 registros de saÃda"

So the both cases shows me a file FS2004_4.iso with 1548288 bytes.

"$ df
/dev/hdd              630M  630M     0 100% /mnt/cdrom1"

Is it right?
