Here is a command that may help you:

gdal_translate -of GTiff -co tiled=yes -co compress=deflate 
-projwin 24 68 25 67 hwsd.bil clipped.tif

It clips one degree wide and high part of the hwsd.bil file and saves it
into a small GeoTIFF. Learn more about what the command does from
http://www.gdal.org/gdal_translate.html and http://www.gdal.org/frmt_gtiff.html
