How to clone a ISO CD

[TubsAlwaysWins]

Mods, please let me know if this isn't allowed. IK piracy isnt allowed but I have a retail disk. 

I have a physical copy of Windows XP home and I would like to rip it and end up with a .iso file.

 

Whats the best way to do this? 

Thanks

Probably easier to just grab an .iso file online?

you can do this with terminal commands like dd on linux

I use BurnAwareFree, a tool can rip to ISO as well as help create a CD/DVD/Bluray if needed.

Probably. Ended up finding a bunch of Windows images on Archive.org

There should be something called dd for windows now, but it'd probably be easier to do something like wsl instead
