Thank you for your reply. I installed the fs-driver and it found the
drives/file systems
however it seems to think the linux partition is unformated :(
When I did the "fdisk -l" it shows a partition type of "83"
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 9561 76798701 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 9562 60801 411585300 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 9562 12667 24948913+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 12668 13861 9590773+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda7 13862 60801 377045518+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
----------- here is my actual code ---------------
STAMP="fast34_lin1_`date +%Y-%m-%d_%H.%M.%S`"
SOURCE="/dev/sda5"
DIR="/cygdrive/f/$STAMP"
TARGET="$DIR/$STAMP.img.gz"
dd if=$SOURCE | gzip > $TARGET
dd: opening `/dev/sda5': No such file or directory
