The equivalent for me (cd /c/"Program Files") works as your expecting though
I normally wouldn't quote part of a path.  I'm using cygwin 1.3.9-1 and
WinXP.

Try cutting and pasting the exact text from the session that shows the
problem.

You've certainly given people something to blame until you can prove
differently.  It's not a good idea to 'just copy' individual files.

Yes.
