How do I backup Wii disk to ISO Ubuntu OS?

Hello,

You can create an ISO image easily from your CD/DVD in the Ubuntu OS by simply doing the following steps:

1. Insert the CD/DVD which you want to make an ISO image of.

2. Open a terminal window.

3. Now execute this command:

cat /dev/scd0 > /home/shamanstears/test.iso

Where “dev /scd0” is the device name for your drive. (In order to find this, go to the “Main Menu” > “System” and mouseover “Administration” then select “System Monitor”. Click the “File Systems” tab. The device name will be listed in the Device column.) Be sure to change the path and ISO filename to the desired path and filename.

The disc will begin to spin and the ISO image will start being constructed. Once it has completed, you have an ISO image of your CD or DVD. In order to verify the image was properly created, mount the ISO file and check the contents.

Have a nice day.

Best of luck.
