You are misinterpreting what is written on that page. There is no need
to create anything, nor is there a need to know about anything under
\Device as that is the NT name not the POSIX name, and you're using
POSIX dd. You simply use dd with the appropriate
/dev/sd<letter><number>. You won't see them in ls but they are
nonetheless present and work, like all the devices listed on that page.
To find out the correct <letter>, look in the Logical Disk Manager
service (can be accessed by running diskmgmt.msc). You will see each
logical drive listed as "Disk 0", "Disk 1", etc. /dev/sda corresponds
to Disk 0, /dev/sdb to Disk 1, and so on. /dev/sda is the whole drive,
/dev/sda1 is the first partition of the drive, and so on.
