OK, so perhaps your problem and the Windows path shown by 'cygcheck' are two
different issues.  I'm back to not being sure why you're seeing accesses on
your floppy drive.  Maybe if you straced a simple operation, you might be
able to tell us who, what, when, why, and/or how the floppy drive gets
accessed.
