Hi

Running version 1.7.17-1

Trying to $ dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null count=10 - compact flash card in the 
PC CF card reader.

Running above command displays: dd: opening `/dev/sdb': Permission denied

Searched for solutions, but could not find anything to solve.  Also tried 
running cygwin as administrator but still the same problem.

Do I have to mount the /dev/sdb or it is not required in later versions 
anymore?

thank you,
andrei
