Go into the Registry and look for like HKEY_BLAH(what is the
reasoning behind those names?!)/Software/Cygnus and you'll find
the "mount list" (my term). I have had the problem a few times
with gnu-win32 when getting a new version of nothing working at
all because c:\ is / and d:\ is nothing, and d is my main
partition. Now, it doesn't take me long to realize or fix, but
can the library be smarter? Like, if cygwin.dll is in d:\usr\lib
(or is it d:\lib?), then maybe d:\ should be / by default instead
of c:\. Or if NT is on d:\, or whatever is easy to find by
whatever is setting up the default mount points. Someone
indicated to me once they didn't know how to work with the
registry; as a hint, look for Windows NT Diagnostics in the
Administrative Tools in the normal/default NT Program Manager
setup; then, there's a menu that lists registry editor, disk
administrator and I think Event Viewer.
I think this is supposedly fixable by running mount from the
(empty) NT shell ("cmd" aka command.com), but I've had more luck
using the registry.

Hope the above is of some help. Dump it if not.
