There actually does exist a dd for windows. You may download this zip-file
http://www.chrysocome.net/downloads/dd-0.6beta3.zip
extract the including dd.exe to any location (preferably somewhere in
the command search-path) and should be able to just use it (no
installation needed) in a command window.
For "of=..." you have to use the drive-letter of the USB stick (e.g.
"of=f:").
