Not sure what the syntax of the cygwin command dd would be. Check their FAQ first and if it is not there I would submit the question to the cygwin mailing list. http://cygwin.com/ Cygwin Home Page http://cygwin.com/faq/ Cygwin FAQ. Most excellent! http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Cygwin Bug Report Guidelines. This is a good reference for general bug reporting.
