Wonder how that can be done easily in OS X?" It should work just fine, I use: dd if=/dev/disk1s0 of=~/Desktop/CD.iso to make ISO images. You just need to figure out what device it is, use System Profiler if don't already know. For instance System Profiler says my iPod is: BSD Name: disk2 While my main HD is: BSD Name: disk0 “doing dd if=/dev/sda of=myfile.img works so well. Wonder how that can be done easily in OS X?”
