See <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-10/msg01097.html>.  Using the
'mount' command, you can do something like

mount -fst c:/cygwin /
mount -fst c:/cygwin/bin /usr/bin
mount -fst c:/cygwin/lib /usr/lib

It's marginally possible that your mounts aren't wrong (although the stale
fonts mount seems to suggest that they are).  Save the mounts first, by
running

mount -m > c:/saved-mounts.bat

Then try changing them to point to c:\cygwin as root, and if that doesn't
work, post snippets of the contents of the
c:\cygwin\_download\001\{,bin,lib} directories.  If you really did have
Cygwin installed there, you should be able to run saved-mounts.bat from
c:/cygwin/_download/001/bin to restore your current mounts.
