dreamlayers:
Cygwin has devices for disks just like Unix.  They're just not visible in /dev.  For example, here's a read from my Archos V2 Recorder in Vista:

--- Code: ---$ dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null bs=1024k count=2
2+0 records in
2+0 records out
2097152 bytes (2.1 MB) copied, 0.199 s, 10.5 MB/s
--- End code ---
Just like in other operating systems you need to have the right to do this.  In Vista the easiest way to do it is to right-click on "Cygwin Bash Shell" in the Start Menu and run it as Administrator.
