1. Double-click on your 'My Computer' icon on your desktop to open it.
2. Right-click on your drive(s) icon and select 'Properties' from the
menu.
The Local Disk Properties dialog should be displayed.
3. Click on the 'General' tab (the default) if it is not already
selected.
The file system type should be listed as NTFS or FAT32 (or, possibly,
FAT).
If your disk's file system is not NTFS, then you might want to
consider converting it to NTFS using Windows 'convert' utility program
(read Windows Help for more information about this utility).
From http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html, we have:
(no)ntsec - if set, use the NT security model to set UNIX-like
permissions on files and processes. The file permissions can only be set
on NTFS partitions. FAT doesn't support the NT file security.
So, without NTFS, 'chmod' won't work.
