Today I discovered the mkisofs command, a general linux command not specific to Ubuntu. This command enables you to make an ISO disk image of any folder or group of files on your hard drive or external media. I used it today to make an ISO file of a CD which appears to have worked perfectly using the following command
mkisofs -o EPSON.iso /media/cdrom0
As far as i know the -0 paramater signals that we are giving the command an output file (in this case EPSON.iso) followed by the path to the cd drive which contained the CD i wanted to make an ISO from. This command has literally hundreds of paramaters which are explained better than I would even attempt here.
