RE: dd command problem??

This is in the User Guide:
http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html

'a:', or 'a:/' is the name of the root directory of the floppy drive, it
in not the name of the device.

dd command problem??

[Bizhong Hu]

Hello,

I am using cygwin 1.3.10 on win2k system. recently
while I try to write some file into a: using following
command: dd if=myfile of=a: bs=512 count=1, the
computer tried to write and then come back give me
error message: dd open "a:", Permission denied. I
switched to administrator account to do the same
thing,
the same result. It is obvious to me that dd try to
write to a dirve. Is dd not working yet? or my setup
is not correct? 

Thanks
