The system in question is disconnected from the internet and has no write t=
o cd etc capability.

That said, here is the output of the command you suggested:

The cygwin site specifically says there is no such thing as a version of cy=
gwin (http://cygwin.com/faq.html).

When I use the uname -a command I get the result:

CYGWIN_NT-5.2-WOW64 almaden 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2008-06-12 19:34 i686 Cygwin

More details about the suspect drive would be nice:
/usr/lib/csih/getVolInfo /cygdrive/$drive

> Has this problem been resolved?  Can I just install the latest production=
 version of cygwin to fix it?

Hard to tell without more details (what version are you currently running, =
to know if you even can upgrade?).

Help us help you:
