Has anyone else run into the problem of trying to pull an image of your ram in windows using either cygwin's dd or "dd for windows"? I have successfully done this before using the command:

dd if=\\.\PhysicalMemory of=ram.img

However, when I do this with cygwin'd dd in the windows terminal, it seems to double the back slashes and errors saying that the device \\\\.\\PysicalMemory could not be found. I tried taking out the back slashes in my command and that was no luck at all. dd for windows just says the device could not be found.

Has anyone else run into this issue, am I doing something wrong, is anyone else accomplishing the same thing some way else? Thanks a ton.

Hippie Joe

Hello,
It seems you are using "prompt DOS commands" to call a program installed into your windows to check for your memory RAM !!!
You can have the same result using START and ACCESSORIES in your win desktop....
That's what I understood from your post... am I right ? if not, please explain us what you are looking for as result ?
