This procedure assumes you are logged in as Admin user.
1. Insert the CD-ROM in the CD/DVD drive (I used the Apple USB SuperDrive)
- The CD will not be mounted, wait till the drive settles down
2. Find the volume name
- Open Disk Utility (in Apps/Utilities)
- In the Device and Volumes list at the left, the CD volume is shown greyed
- Select that greyed CD volume
- Now you will see in the bottom-right corner the device name*
- Note that name and close Disk Utility
* In my test the device name was "disk5s1s2", it can be different in your case. In the command below replace disk5s1s2 with the name you found.
3. Create the disk image file
- Open Terminal (in Apps/Utilities)
- Open a bash session by typing at the prompt:
Code: Select all
bash
- Ignore the message about the default shell now being zsh and about how to update to use zsh.
- At the prompt enter the command below, replacing disk5s1s2 with the device name you found and replacing Disk 1 with the name you want the image file to have:
Code: Select all
sudo dd if=/dev/disk5s1s2 of=~/Desktop/"Disk 1.iso"
- Enter your password (note that you will see nothing happening while typing your password)
- Hit Return
The disk image is now being created on your desktop. It will take some time. Do not interrupt.
When the process has finished, you will see a message in Terminal window similar to this one:
Code: Select all
348426+0 records in
348426+0 records out
178394112 bytes transferred in 106.781745 secs (1670642 bytes/sec)
Code: Select all
drutil tray eject
The CD will be ejected
- Close Terminal
