try
dd if=/dev/hda | gzip > test.gz
Now -- and I say this not to scold, but to save you time in the future -- I
got the info straight from the gzip man page. There are good examples in

The man or info page(s) about the shell should have information on how
redirection works.
(Because its glance inspired the distance which separates the shortest path)
