'a:', or 'a:/' is the name of the root directory of the floppy drive, it

Subject: dd command problem??
Hello,
I am using cygwin 1.3.10 on win2k system. recently
while I try to write some file into a: using following
command: dd if=myfile of=a: bs=512 count=1, the
computer tried to write and then come back give me
error message: dd open a:, Permission denied. I
switched to administrator account to do the same
thing,
the same result. It is obvious to me that dd try to
write to a dirve. Is dd not working yet? or my setup
is not correct?
Thanks
Bizhong Hu
