See <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-10/msg01097.html>. Using the 'mount' command, you can do something like mount -fst c:/cygwin / mount -fst c:/cygwin/bin /usr/bin mount -fst c:/cygwin/lib /usr/lib > > Replying that "it used to work" is not going to fix anything. > > > > Brian > > Thanks. It's marginally possible that your mounts aren't wrong (although the stale fonts mount seems to suggest that they are). Save the mounts first, by running mount -m > c:/saved-mounts.bat Then try changing them to point to c:\cygwin as root, and if that doesn't work, post snippets of the contents of the c:\cygwin\_download\001\{,bin,lib} directories. If you really did have Cygwin installed there, you should be able to run saved-mounts.bat from c:/cygwin/_download/001/bin to restore your current mounts.
