Problem

I have a broken DVD drive and no others available right now to burn a DVD iso to so I'd like to use a empty hard disk instead. I've tried Unetbootin but that only copies a few megabytes of files - the rest of the image data in the ISO is ignored. I have verified the ISO is valid and working with Vi…

Error Output

sudo cat /disk/image.iso > /dev/sdb1

Fix for: Linux: Copy DVD ISO to empty hard disk / partition and boot as if it is a DVD?

Low Risk

In the end I used dd and a USB stick as a boot disk because somehow booting didn't seem to work for the dvd on the hard disk.
