the dev switch wasn't working for me, where mnt does- the second line i perform a cd /dev/cdrom to show, and again to the dest directory just to make sure that it is all correct. below is everything that I've tried.

[root@localhost ~]# mount -tiso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
[root@localhost ~]# cd /dev/cdrom
bash: cd: /dev/cdrom: Not a directory
[root@localhost ~]# dd if=/mnt/cdrom of=/media/WILLIAM*SHU/PS3*Games/NBA
dd: opening `/media/WILLIAM*SHU/PS3*Games/NBA': No such file or directory
[root@localhost ~]# cd /media/WILLIAM*SHU
[root@localhost WILLIAM SHU]# cd /media/WILLIAM*SHU/PS3*Games/
[root@localhost PS3 Games]# dd if=/mnt/cdrom of=/media/WILLIAM*SHU/PS3*Games/NBA.iso
dd: opening `/media/WILLIAM*SHU/PS3*Games/NBA.iso': No such file or directory
[root@localhost PS3 Games]#

(for completeness, and the * will replace the space, so it does not fail, as sometimes it will think the folder name is only WILLIAM, vs WILLIAM SHU)

THANKS! I was trying to find out how to do that. It wasn't working with the space, and I tried the 8.3 format (WILLIA~1) and the quotes seemed to work. that makes things so much easier! and thanks for bearing with me here, still a super noob to linux!
