Chrysocome DD 0.5 Description:

This application was designed to be a small command line tool that will allow you to copy data under a win32 environment.

Usage
dd [bs=SIZE[SUFFIX]] [count=BLOCKS[SUFFIX]] if=FILE of=FILE [seek=BLOCKS[SUFFIX]] [skip=BLOCKS[SUFFIX]] [--size] [--list] [--progress]

The default block size is 512 which will work for most files and devices but the copy will be a lot faster if you use a larger block size. For example a floppy disk read with bs=1k count=1440 takes almost twice as long than if you use bs=1440k count=1.

Don't make the block size too large because windows will run out of memory. 1M is probably a good size and upper limit. Most CD/DVDs have a 2k sector size and probably will not work with a block size which is not a multiple of that.

Using --size
Traditionally when using dd, if you wanted to copy an entire device, you did not specify a block count and dd would read until it reached the end of the device. If you tried to read past the end of the device, the data up to the end of the device would be returned and if you kept reading you would get an error message.

Windows however does not always do this so --size will tell dd to figure out the size of the device and make sure it does not read past that point. This is important for USB sticks which stop working if you read past the end of them. This is not on by default because getting the correct size of the device is not always possible. Some devices also keep returning bogus data past the end of the device without returning a suitable error code

Using --list
Windows provides a number of ways to name a device. The --list will output the preferred names. Under NT4, only the \?DeviceHarddiskPartition method is available.

Partition0 is the entire disk. Under Windows XP, some partitions may not have a Volume device. In this case you can still use the HarddiskPartition name.

Using --progress
--progress is an non-standard enhancement to dd which will show you progress as each block is copied.
