getting files from HD is pretty easy -- as Walt said. Writing to CD is much more problematic because you can't use standard stream io on it but go through the CD's device driver. I don't know how that's done because I always use a commercial cd writer program.

Grab the source code for one of the existing CD writer applications for Linux, and study it thoroughly.
