Hi,
I am facing problems issuing dd to raw disks from
windows 2k3 server thru cygwin.
dd if/dev/zero of="\\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE4" count=50000
seek =3 fails with the error
dd: opening `\\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE4': Invalid argument
But it works the other way, I mean if i give
"\\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE4" as the input device and
/dev/null as the output device.
Any hints/clues ?
Thanks
Anees
