Was the partition created and/or formatted from the Linux side, using ntfstools for example, before windows was installed to it? Or did you use the format option in the windows installer? > Sounds to me like it could be a hardware or file system issue which > coincidentally you see surface after you install and run Cygwin.

Cygwin doesn't use raw block I/O to write corrupted disk block structures to your HD, that's for sure. But one thing it does do that's a bit unusual is to create a hell of a lot of ACLs, compared to a standard windows installation where most stuff doesn't have a custom ACL and just inherits from the directory tree. I wonder if for some reason this drive got formatted in a funny way that didn't leave enough room for entries in the security descriptor database special files? cheers, DaveK -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
