CD Image creation -> Problems, errors & frustrations

["Mariano F.co Benítez Mulett"]

Hi again guys.
This time I'm here to ask for your wisdom.
Only now I need to create an image of a CD and I sudently found out that 
I just cannot!

As many of you, I installed k3b for managing the CD-DVD creation sessions.
For creating an image it uses /usr/bin/readcd with the default command:
/usr/bin/readcd -v dev=/dev/hdc f=/mnt/Data01/k3b_1.img -clone retries=128
Then it says that the CD contains around 650Mb, which is correct, it 
starts copying it and, at a certain moment, it stops saying the process 
is done succesfully but only having copied an amount between 3 and 40 Mb.
This is what happens if I click in the "Clone Copy" option, if I click 
the "Normal Copy" it says at 0% of process that there's an error because 
there is no data in the device...

I'm running Ubuntu in a laptop wich a Combo CD-RW/DVD-R, which also 
means in the device list it only shows up one item and as recorder and 
non as reader.

Any ideas guys?

Thanks in advance.
