Hi Cygwin users,

I DO NOT want cygwin to mount anything on my NT workstation as /. Currently
when I run mount, it shows me following mount which I just AM NOT ABLE
TO REMOVE IT ( I want to use '/' to refer to the current driver letter
inside
some of my applications)

C:\CYGWIN\etc>mount
Device              Directory           Type         Flags
C:                    /                       user          textmode

C:\CYGWIN\etc>

I tried using all the following options to REMOVE the above mount from C:,
even 
then I could NOT unmount /

umount --remove-all-mounts
umount --remove-auto-mounts
umount --remove-user-mounts
umount --remove-system-mounts
umount -s /

PLEASE HELP. I really need to FIX this problem as soon as possible. I do not
have local administrator privileges on my  NT machine.

I am using CygWin1.0 on NT workstation service pack 4

Thanking you in advance
