How to Prepare for Creating Data on or Extracting Data From a USB CD

The cdrw command works with or without vold running. See the cdrw(1) and mkisofs(1M) man pages for more information.

1. Insert a CD into the CD-RW device.

   The CD can be any CD that the device can read.

2. Check that the CD-RW drive is connected properly by listing the device.

   # cdrw -l Node | Connected Device | Device type ----------------------+--------------------------------+----------------- /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 | SONY CD-RW CRX120E 1.0k | CD Reader/Writer

   # touch /reconfigure # init 6
