also CMD.exe can not access it

only with a driver that map it as a disk.

If you are curious you can compare the
/proc/sys/Device directory, before and after

eg:

IPOD:
   $ file /proc/sys/Device/IPOD0
   /proc/sys/Device/IPOD0: character special

while for Hard-disk:
$ file /proc/sys/Device/HarddiskVolume1
/proc/sys/Device/HarddiskVolume1: block special
