I want to run Cygwin (to run ddrescue, among other things) on WinPE.
Which folders do I need from the Cygwin installation copied over.
Someone mentioned just the cygwin1.dll, but apparently that's not
enough. I tried the bin folder and ddrescue didn't throw any errors,
off the bat. What about the dev, etc, home, and lib folders. Do I need
them too?

For tools like ddrescue, which do not require external support files in
/etc, /usr or /var, simply put the executable and the required Cygwin
DDLs in the same directory. Use cygcheck to get a list of these DDLs.
ddrescue and smartctl: cyggcc_s-1.dll cygstdc++-6.dll cygwin1.dll
coreutils tools like dd, ls: cyggcc_s-1.dll cygiconv-2.dll cygintl-8.dll
cygwin1.dll
I successfully tested Cygwin ddrescue in the Windows console of a Win7
Recovery CD.

Why not use Linux LiveCD?
