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
