not mean that windows path expression as a:\ etc. are understood. E.g. I cannot create a disk image with
dd if=a: of=disk_image.bin bs=1k count=1440
The problem is not with paths that contains backslashes; e.g.
dd if=a:\test of=disk_image.bin bs=1k count=1440, where test an ordinary file, works perfectly. The real problem is that a: is a directory, which cannot be opened and copied in the way this can be done on Unix operating systems, i.e. as if it is an ordinary file.
