All.

I am trying to run dcfldd in windows using the cygwin application. It has installed correctly but I cannot work out how to get it to accept the drive when using the if= option.

It keeps complaining that the USB drive is a directory.

Can anybody please advise.

Thank You

I have now found the answer (after a lot of digging ) ). The physical drive names assigned to your drives within the cygwin enviroment are available here.

So to image /cygdrive/e/ where e is your second disk. You would do a

dcfldd if=/dev/sdb of=thisisatest.image
I hope this is of use to someone at some point.
