Check under the Disk Management snap-in in Windows (under Administrator
Tools, Computer Management).  If it shows up there, you should be able
to set a drive letter.  If not, you may be able to access it using /dev/sdXX
syntax.  See <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html> for
guidance on how to map the information you see here into /dev/sdXX form.
