dd to linux partition

[jwzumwalt]

I am attempting to backup a Linux partition. The cygwin dd command works ok
for a win NT xp partition but will not work for the Linux... anyone have any
ideas or experiance with this problem?
  
 dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/cygrive/f/sda1.img  # windows, works!!!



 dd if=/dev/sda5 of=/cygrive/f/sda5.img  # linux, will not work

 error msg says 'dev/sda5': No such file or directory
