using cygwin under dos

[David Meltzer]

hello and thanks for reading this,

is it possible to the cygwin tools under dos.
i am looking for a way to use the dd command to copy a hard drive image.
i am afraid to use this command under windows since windows would be writing to the drive as i am
trying to copy it.

being new to linux, i am looking for way to start to use linux command on my windows system and dos.

perhaps you know of another way to run dd under dos.



thanks,
dave
