I now have a file on my hard drive named disk.out that is presumably 2 sectors smaller than the CD and/or the iso image. I've solved my problem (see below), but I'm curious as to what one accomplishes using readcd in this way. Maybe a related question: Is there a way to list and extract selected files (like rpm packages) from an iso image residing on a hard drive without burning to a CD? > If your CD-writer doesn't support DAO mode, trying adding padding > options when burning in TAO mode.
