Still not getting it huh,  F: is a windows type syntax - you are using a Unix 
like environment with ksh and therefore need Unix like syntax.  Try:

cd /cygdrive/f/budne  

or if budne happens to be below the root directory of where you installed 
Cygwin or if you have a mount point for it then:

cd /some_directory_structure/budne

But do note the syntax we are using here - particularly the first where we 
use /cygdrive/f to represent the f drive.

If you insist on F: maybe you should read up on cygpath

cygpath --help
