I believe that this is part of CORE, which I have at 6.9-5. I did update to all of the latest just a short while ago and reverified the problem. I've discovered what I believe to be a problem with "dd" on several different XP SP2 systems with Cygwin installed involving the usage of Windows' \\.\PhysicalDrive nomenclature. That is, reading from \\.\PhysicalDrive1 with the below command works flawlessly: dd if=^\^\.^\PhysicalDrive1 of=tmp.img bs=16384 However, writing to \\.\\PhysicalDrive1 in similar fashion fails with an error: dd if=tmp.img of=^\^\.^\PhysicalDrive1 bs=16384 dd: opening `\\\\.\\PhysicalDrive1': Invalid argument
PhysicalDrive1 is a removeable drive. Thank you. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
