I have a cd and would like to make an image of it. I know you can do it in disk utility but I can't remember how. I would like to make the comp think its got a cd in it.
not sure if this is the right section.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Disk Utility -> Images -> Burn

I opened disk utility, then went to help. I typed in 'make image'. This was the third hit:

Be sure the files you want to protect are in the same folder in the Finder.
To create a disk image from a disk or volume, select it in the list of disks and volumes.
Choose File > New then the type of image you want to create.
To create a disk image from a folder, choose “Disk Image from Folder.” Select the folder you want, then click Image.

To create a disk image from a disk or volume, choose "Disk Image from disk name."

Type a name for the image and choose where you want to save the image.
Choose one of the disk formats from the Image Format pop-up menu.
To require a password to access the contents of the image, choose "AES-128 (recommended)" from the Encryption pop-up menu.
Click Save.
If you chose to use a password, enter it in the dialog that appears.

The name of the disk image is followed by the filename extension ".dmg."
