Could it be that your mount table is messed up after the upgradeto NT?

How does the output of mount look like?

Here's an example from my machine:

ring@BOWMAN{~} mount
Device              Directory           Type         Flags
C:\Cygwin\bin       /usr/bin            system       binmode
C:\Cygwin\lib       /usr/lib            system       binmode
C:\Cygwin           /                   system       binmode
M:                  /home/ring          user         binmode
ring@BOWMAN{~}

At least the three C:\Cygwin lines must be present.

if not, you must create them manually with the commands:

mount -b -s C:\Cygwin /
mount -b -s C:\Cygwin\bin /usr/bin
mount -b -s C:\Cygwin\bin /usr/bin

The best way to do this is to start a cmd.exe , cd C:\Cygwin\bin

and then execute the commands.

After that Cygwin should start fine.

Another way to solve the problem is of course to re-install cygwin
with setup.exe.
