You should probably double check the pages found here:
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames
in the Using Cygwin document. Probably you have a problem with
the mount table.

Ok I read the documents suggetsed and I am confused on how to mount my c 
drive.
could some one give me the right syntax,
'cause 'mount -s /c and mount -s c:\  won't work
Yes, those are not the correct commands. You need to tell it both
the win32 path and the posix path:
mount -s c:\\ /c
Assuming you're using the bash shell, you need to escape the first
'\' in the path.
But normally, if you cygdrive is /, you should have this already. Again,
check out the Problems report page, and try posting a new question, with
all the necessary info.
