Without that information, a WAG is that your initial Cygwin install was
for "Just me", and the new user is missing the standard mounts. You can
either use the "mount" command to set up standard mounts, or just re-run
setup and tell it to install for "All users". You don't need to reinstall
anything (though the above run of setup will upgrade your installation as
well unless you go into the "Keep" mode).
HTH,
Igor
