I don't think it depends whether the drive is FAT16 or NTFS formatted,
because my c: and d: drives are both NTFS. Do you have the cygwin
installation on your c drive, too? Perhaps it doesn't show the drive
letter on which it is installed. Or it doesn't show the letter of the
drive where the system is installed. I have Windows 2000 installed. The
wrong date of the cd is less important to me. But I'd like to have a
list of all drives, because with some gui tools one can traverse the
file system with the mouse to select a file without entering the path
manually.
