First create the system mounts as above, then remove your user mounts by umount /usr/lib umount /usr/bin umount / then leave bash and rename your temp to cygwin and you are thru. You don't need to change your $PATH. For people who want to have user mount points instead: cd to /bin and do all changes by prefixing the commands with "./": cd /bin ./umount /usr/lib ./umount /usr/bin ./umount / ./mount -f -b e:/cygwin / ./mount -f -b e:/cygwin/bin /usr/bin ./mount -f -b e:/cygwin/lib /usr/lib then leave bash and rename your temp to cygwin.
