Of the 280 lines of output, I presume the ones you mean refer to cygdrive.

	$ cygcheck -s | grep -i cygdrive
	.       /cygdrive  user    binmode,noumount
	    Cygdrive flags: cygdrive flags
	    Cygdrive prefix: cygdrive prefix
	    Cygdrive default prefix:  

What clue should I have inferred from these 4 lines?
