This list is a place to get support rather than training. It's best to look up the twiki ( http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org ) or any of a billion other places, give them a try, and then come back here with _specific_ questions. > 1) # cdrecord -scanbus > 2) # mkisofs -r -o cd_image myfile > # mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 cd_image /mnt/cdrom2 > 3) # cdrecord -v speed=2 dev= 0,0,0 -data cd_image > , but this didn't seem to be successful. What did I miss? Okay, _this_ is a good question. First, which Mandrake/Mandriva are you using? If you're using 10.1, then use "cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATA" instead. Also you do not need to mount the image to burn it. Just get the device number, make the image, then burn the image. And if you're burning an ISO image, don't use "-data", but do use "- dao" and drop the space after "dev=". What happens now? Miark
