My WAG is it's your mounts. Type "mount -m >/tmp/mounts", edit that file in an editor that will not introduce carriage returns, remove all lines that don't contain a drive designation, copy the rest and create duplicates. In the first set of duplicated commands, change "mount" to "umount". In the second set, change all the drive designations (i.e. 'C:') to the drive you want (i.e. 'E:'). Save the file and exit. Move '/tmp/mounts' to the directory containing 'cygwin1.dll' (i.e. "E:\cygwin\bin'). Open a 'cmd.exe' console and 'cd' to the same directory. Type 'bash', followed by 'chmod +x mounts', followed by 'mounts'. This should unmount references to your old installation location and then mount the new one. Delete 'mounts'.
