Hello, is there a file or something where I can see how cygwin maps the harddisks in windows to the usual unix style devices? e.g. I can use: dd if=/dev/sdb of=E:\hd1backup.bin bs=4096 to backup the whole second harddrive or just partitions of that disk if I use if=/dev/sdbX But I can't be sure if that cygwin/unix styled device names are the partitions which I think. Where are such "mappings" stored/saved/recorded?
