/cygdrive/e is a mount point

To have a hint about the device name

$ cat /proc/partitions 
major minor  #blocks  name

    8     0  39070080 sda
    8     1  39062488 sda1
    8    16   1006592 sdb
    8    17   1006576 sdb1

my USB key is  /dev/sdb
and the 1st partition is /dev/sdb1

 dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/tmp/usbkey_partition_image
2013152+0 records in
2013152+0 records out
1030733824 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 165.357 s, 6.2 MB/s

$ dd if=/dev/sdb of=/tmp/usbkey_image
2013184+0 records in
2013184+0 records out
1030750208 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 196.923 s, 5.2 MB/s


I am not responsable if you destroy you USB key 
playing with dd.
