Convert dd image file to iso
By David Jones •
I've a disk dump image (.dd) of an old version of X-Linux (X-Linux R41).
Is there any chance to successfully convert this .dd image to a .iso? I've tried this conversion through a forensic tool, but what I've got is a corrupted image, where no OS is found.
I need an iso because I've to emulate this OS through QEMU.

"dd" is "iso" for all intents and purposes. It's a raw image, and as mentioned above, it will boot in qemu or kvm (assuming it isn't corrupt) if it is a raw image.
Example, if you take a hard drive with Ubuntu installed, located at /dev/sdc, and use the command:
dd if=/dev/sdc bs=8M of=/home/me/sdc.rawYou can then boot /home/me/sdc.raw using qemu or KVM.
