Re: DD for windows: - problem imaging a floppy disk......

Thanks for the response.........

It looks like I was doing exactly what they said to do on the page you
referenced.......

I even tried the following and it didn't work......(gave me "No Such
File or Directory" error)

dd if=D:\dd\boot2.img of=//device/floppy0
dd if=D:\dd\boot2.img of=//device/fd0


Why is it telling me permission denied when I try it the other
way....... ??

dd if=D:\dd\boot2.img of=\\.\A: .......

??

Use the Cygwin filenames:

http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html 

Note that if you are using a newer version of Cygwin, the mount
command
shouldn't be used.
