Add something like the following line to your /etc/fstab file and
restart all your Cygwin processes:
none / cygdrive binary,posix=0,noacl,user 0 0
This example will set your cygdrive prefix to simply be /, so you can
access the C: drive via /c/whatever. More details are available in the
user guide:
