Yes, but obviously they are not shown if you filter the ls output as above. A plain `ls' should show them. > $ cat /proc/partitions > major minor #blocks name > > 8 0 312571224 sda > 8 1 301684603 sda1 > 8 2 10884037 sda2 > 8 16 1000944 sdb > 8 32 0 sdc > 8 48 0 sdd > 8 64 0 sde > > the above shows the 1gig CF card is detected and has 'sdb' assingend to it. > > so it looks like the problem is that I'm missing /dev/shm and /dev/mqueue - > is this correct? what can be done to solve This has nothing at all to do with it. But the above output from /proc/partitions is strange. Where's sdb1? Anyway, typically you read from sdb1 on CF cards and their siblings. Only as admin you can read from sdb. I just tested this again with a CF card in an USB reader attached to a W7 64 bit machine running Cygwin 1.7.17. Are you *sure* you tried it with admin rights? Did you start your Cygwin shell with `Run as administrator'?
