.bin to .iso

Post by WSPSNIPER »

hello, i just wrote a boot sector in asm ( nasm to be specific ) and i want to make it into a .iso so i can run it from Virtual Box. I'm using Linux Mint 9 ( i know noob right? but i love it ) i was looking for this on google but no luck all i found required .bin and .cue which i cant figure out how to generate lol.

Thanks in advanced.

bchunk is the tool you're looking for in order to convert a .bin & .cue into an iso.

sudo apt-get install bchunk if you're on debian / ubuntu.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you can just create a new text file in the following format:

Code: Select all

FILE “theNameOfYourFile.bin” BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
and save it as a .cue
