Further info on this (I asked someone who knows windows what a dos window was): 1) When the CYGWIN=traverse, in a window started with cygwin.bat (from icon), df does not show e:, neither can I get to it. 2) When a command prompt is started (start->programs->accessories->Command Prompt), I can get to e:, and do a dir, df does not show e:. cacls e: results in "e:\ Everyone:<0I.<CI>F". After a /cygwin/cygwin, cacls e: gives "access denied". 3) when I type "cmd" in the "run box", I can start \cygwin\cygwin within the resulting window, and everything seems as normal.
