Peter-

Sorry my last email wasn't clear- you have to use 
/cygdrive/your-path-to-cygwin/bin/umount, not just "umount". Also, it 
looks like you are using an old version of cygwin- the developers 
recommend that everyone download the latest version, because it has many 
fixes. The use of a CD or add/remove programs is dated, the new 
installation system is setup.exe available at cygwin.com.

HTH,
Peter
