Choosing a drive for reading

Use the "-d" - option to specify the drive for reading media images:

user@linux> dvdisaster -d /dev/hdc -r

user@windows> dvdisaster -d E: -r

Under Linux some commonly used device names are /dev/hd* for ATAPI drives and /dev/scd* for SCSI drives. The Windows version works with the usual drive letters.

 

Specifying image and error correction files names

You can change the names of image and error correction files using the "-i and -e" - options:

user@linux> dvdisaster -i myimage.img -e medium01.ecc -c

It is possible to omit the file suffixes ".img" bzw. ".ecc" or to use other file endings.
