i was trying to install windows xp on vbox, but the cd wont work, so i want to make an iso image from the cd and run it from that. after some research, i found this code to use disk dump and make a raw cd image:
Code:
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/cdrom_image.iso
ive done that successfully (making sure the drive is unmounted), but i cant even find the file now. ive searched the filesystem, but it doesnt appear anywhere.

I have created an iso image from a RHEL5.4 disc using mkisofs.
mkisofs -A "Red Hat Linux 5.4" -V "Red Hat Linux 5.4" -v -U -J -R -T
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot
-boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o /tmp/RHEL54-x86_64-dvd.iso .
It creates the iso image no problem, however when I go to boot a new server from the disc I get the boot prompt, hit enter, answer the language and keyboard questions and then it throws the following error:
"The Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives. Please insert the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server CD and press OK to retry".
Perhaps I need to specify in my mkisofs command that its supposed to be iso9660? This is on a RHEV virtual machine.
I have a crippled file system after a disk failure and attempt at repairing. Currently the Web Server is running, however I cannot open the filesystem to explore files and view. I am going to do a fresh install this weekend and upgrade system. I have two questions I hope this forum will help with. (Installing new disk and entire server)
1). Can someone tell me how I could copy the http.config file so that I can view my settings from terminal (This took me forever to get right for my environment to get shtml and cgi files to run correctly and I don't wish to lose). I am running Fedora 8, I'm also not sure of the location. (I'm fairly new to linux and not great with the terminal, however that is the only access working.) It would be great if someone added the terminal commands. If I can copy them I could email to my email address.
2). In the past when I have copied web files (web sites) over to the www directory the permission would be incorrect. Is it possible to write some of the web sites to CD (Disk burner is working) and then copy to the new system with permissions correct? Would you give a little how to all web sites are in the www directy. I think that is etc/www/"webdomain name" One thing I might add is all drives will fail it is just when...

I have created an image out of 2 other images using the "montage" command. I want to then print it using "lpr". I view the output from montage in XV and it looks fine however when I try to print, it prints the bottom half of the first image then the second and then the bottom half again.
E.g., imagine this:
Code:
<< end of top image
<< end of bottom image
The above is how it looks in xv however when printed, it looks like:
Code:
-------

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I really can't understand it, I've tried opening and saving the image again but it still prints as above. I don't know if montage is outputting it incorrectly or something, however it looks right on the screen!
Everything in Linux is a file, right? And everything can be represented by a file? Is there some way I could create a block device file that represents (i.e., provides an interface to) this image file? If so, then I could use fdisk on the device file to split it into partitions, format the partitions, and then mount them as directories. I could create a file system within a file system, which would be fun.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI followed the steps provided in the below link which will help me to convert from ISO to image. [URL] After it finished the setup it launched the VNC viewer and stated showing the booted messages and in that I could login to the OS as well (but when I do ifconfig it was showing 127.0.0.1 only though I had configured to virbr0). I copied the image from /var/lib/libvirt/images/ttylinux.img to Opennebula controller(Virtual machine tool kit).
I deployed using Opennebula , but I cloudnt not do SSH to that so I tried with VNC viewer by connecting the running VM , in the viewer shows that Booting from hard disk Boot failed : not a bootable disk No bootable device.

I have a Norton Ghost .gho file, and basicly I want to extract the raw image out of this, for example to use with with tools like dd. (So using any symantec/windows tools is not an option). Is there any open source tool which can deal with these .gho files ?
(Note: the.gho file I'm using is a sector based one, and not a file-based one, which implies that things such as Ghost explorer won't work either (see this page)

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a bunch of disk images, made with ddrescue, on an EXT partition, and I want to reduce their size without losing data, while still being mountable. How can I fill the empty space in the image's filesystem with zeros, and then convert the file into a sparse file so this empty space is not actually stored on disk?
For example:
> du -s --si --apparent-size Jimage.image
120G Jimage.image
> du -s --si Jimage.image
121G Jimage.image
This actually only has 50G of real data on it, though, so the second measurement should be much smaller.
This supposedly will fill empty space with zeros: cat /dev/zero > zero.file rm zero.file But if sparse files are handled transparently, it might actually create a sparse file without writing anything to the virtual disk, ironically preventing me from turning the virtual disk image into a sparse file itself. :) Does it? Note: For some reason, sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=./zero.file works when cat does not on a mounted disk image.
I have a number of uncompressed audio files recorded off of an analog (POTS) telephone line of fax transmissions. Is there a Linux utility or library I could use to convert these files into images of the fax they contain? I'm not looking to send/receive a fax via a modem, but just to "replay" the communications tones and parse out the fax message.I'm guessing this may not be possible due to duplex issues and not knowing which end of the conversation is sending what,but thought I'd ask to see if anyone knew of something.
