Hello: I´m trying to obtain an info-image from a flash card, so from Win98 I´ve right installed the USB flash reader, and if I insert a FAT(16/32) file system flash, I can read them without problem from Win and from Cygwin. The problem here is that I want to obtain the data-image from a propietary file system flash card to clone another one. For me there it will be not problem if I use dd command taking the input file from a binmode mounted drive (on Win F: drive)
$ C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode) \\.\F: on /dev/f type system (binmode) c: on /cygdrive/c type user (binmode,noumount) d: on /cygdrive/d type user (binmode,noumount) e: on /cygdrive/e type user (binmode,noumount) $ pwd /dev $ ls -l total 0 brw-rw-rw- 1 admin all 17, 229 Oct 1 11:57 f ... until here all seems ok, but if try dd, next appears $ dd if=/dev/f of=/home/admin/flashcard.img dd: opening `/dev/f': No such file or directory or permission denied $ cd /dev $ ls -l total 0 brw-rw-rw- 1 admin all 17, 229 Oct 1 13:14 f ... but I´m not so sure, if my dd command is working ok, because If I mounted another device, and try to copy them always have 0 records in/out, like as... $ dd if=/cygdrive/e of=/home/admin/cdrom.img dd: reading `/cygdrive/e': Is a directory 0+0 records in 0+0 records out I´m using: bash 2.05b-15 ver. cygwin 1.5.5-1 ver. Someone know about a dd patch or diferent procedure to solve this? José Carlos:) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
