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?

Thomas
