cdrtools - ISO 9660 Command Line Tools
This section provides information on installing and using 'cdrtools' - a set of command line tools to work with ISO 9660 file system.
In order understand better CD-ROM standard and ISO 9660 file system, I downloaded the "cdrtools" command line package on my Windows XP system.
1. Go to http://smithii.com/cdrtools.
2. Click the cdrtools-latest.zip link.
3. Save the downloaded file to C:\temp\cdrtools-latest.zip. The file size should be 1,645,435 bytes.
4. Unzip the file to directory C:\local\cdrtools.
5. Run the first tool, readcd, to scan the SCSI bus in a command window:
C:\> \local\cdrtools\readcd -scanbus Cdrecord-Clone 2.01 (i686-pc-cygwin) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Jorg Schilling Using libscg version 'schily-0.8'. scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'HL-DT-ST' 'DVDRAM GSA-4083N' 'HP13' Removable CD-ROM 0,1,0 1) * 0,2,0 2) * 0,3,0 3) * 0,4,0 4) * 0,5,0 5) * 0,6,0 6) * 0,7,0 7) HOST ADAPTOR scsibus1: 1,0,0 100) 'HTS72108' '0G9SA00 ' 'MC4O' Disk 1,1,0 101) * 1,2,0 102) * 1,3,0 103) * 1,4,0 104) * 1,5,0 105) * 1,6,0 106) * 1,7,0 107) HOST ADAPTOR
Cool. It tells that I have two SCSI buses with a DVD recorder and hard disk connected to them.
