ISO – How to Create a Bootable ISO Image from a Bootable DVD

iso

I want to make a .iso image of a bootable OS DVD, to use in VirutalBox.

Nautilus can make a .iso, but only of data files, it seems.
The .iso it created was not bootable.

What is available to make a bootable .iso from a bootable DVD?

Best Answer

You can use Brasero to copy a CD to an .iso; this is installed by default.

Select the option to copy a CD, select the CD drive as the source, and an image file as the target...

Or from inside Nautilus: go to "Computer", right-click on the CD drive, and select "Copy Disc...". (Or something like that, I'm using a local language system here.)
