There's nothing special about the Cygwin technique, it
just uses the standard Linux tools. Under the hood its using a
Windows call ...

http://disktype.sourceforge.net/doc/ch01s04.html

Windows name: \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE2

so ...

   HANDLE h = CreateFile("\\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE2" ...

or whatever the Windows device names are.

Take a look around Microsoft for 'raw device access' or something
like that.
