I guess you still need help from us "short-tempered chits," eh?

There's no way to directly access a file system in Cygwin. Cygwin 
relies on Windows for file access. If you can find a file system driver 
for Windows that accesses one of the many Linux file system types, then 
Cygwin will have access to those file systems.

Without non-standard (non-Microsoft) file system drivers, you're 
limited to FAT, NTFS and SMB.
