You'll need "cdrecord" or one of the gui front-ends for that.
A CD you read from a drive is not in the .iso format, that's an image one can download (or make) as a single file. So an iso file would be from HD to a CD_writer. If you want to be able to read (or copy) the content of an .iso file you can mount it with the "-o loop" option.
