from /cygdrive
i haven't done it before in linux either, so maybe i'm making an elementary
error.
howcome it fails here with dd and cat?
$ dd if=/cygdrive/g of=/cygdrive/c/crp/test.img
dd: reading `/cygdrive/g': Is a directory
0+0 records in
0+0 records out

/cygdrive/c is not the physical drive but a mount point.
look at
$ ls -l /dev/sd*
On my system
$ ls -l /dev/sd*
brw-rw-rw- 1 marco Administrators 8, 0 Jan 13 08:21 /dev/sda
brw-rw-rw- 1 marco Administrators 8, 1 Jan 13 2013 /dev/sda1
brw-rw-rw- 1 marco Administrators 8, 16 Jan 13 2013 /dev/sdb
brw-rw-rw- 1 marco Administrators 8, 17 Jan 13 2013 /dev/sdb1
/dev/sda is disk C: and /dev/sdb is the disk E:
Asssuming you G drive is a USB stick, the easy way to identify
the right sdX is to use
$ ls -l /dev/sd*
before and after the connection of the stick
