Hmm... I've set no special options regarding case sensitivity, but completion
with both upper and lower case drive letters works fine, i.e., both

ls c:/<tab>

and

ls C:/<tab>

show me the contents of the root directory on drive C. I *do* have the
directive

set show-all-if-ambiguous on

in my .inputrc. Don't know if that has any effect.
