(free) burning cd -> iso

So I've been trying to find a good program to burn .iso's from game cd's (mostly old stuff, so not really worries about copy protection/etc), and downloading random programs off download.com/google searches has been less than useful...

a) any suggestions for windows xp shareware/freeware programs that can do this?

b) any easy to use linux ways (my ubuntu box is a bit broken at the moment, but that can be semi-easily fixed)

much thanks!

    do you mean that you have .iso files and want to burn them to cd?

    no, the reverse - have cd, want to create an iso file (i'm assuming i'm not a moron and xp can't just do this natively, which may be an over-assumption)

    Look up "Daemon Tools". It does a good job, but its hard to find it without spyware attached so be careful.

    edit: here it is

    http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download.php

    I think that will do the trick, but maybe not, I dont really remember.

    if daemon does that i'll feel very stupid, since it's installed on my desktop at home... i thought it was for virtual drive-mounting of iso files, though

    Daemon goes the other way -- iso -> (virtual) cd.

    I'm pretty sure there are lots of things that do what you actually want, but the only one I can think of off the top of my head is ISO Recorder (which will apparently create images from CDs as well as burn either isos or copies).

    If you do get your Linux box up and running, it's a simple three step process, best described here:

    For windows there is always Imgburn which is freeware, it should be able to handle everything you throw at it.
