You at least need to send the cygcheck output for the 32-bit system which is having problems, but it might also be a good idea to send the cygcheck output for the functional 64-bit system as well. Please bear in mind that what you are attempting to do is not really supported, so don't be surprised if you don't get a bunch of help. That said, I can't think of any reason offhand that a default installation of Cygwin 1.7 should fail to work this way. However, a custom /etc/fstab file or permissions problems could cause grief. -Jeremy -- 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
