That's probably because mount is trying to create system mounts by default, and the HKLM key has restricted access (as it should). Try using "mount -u" instead, i.e., mount -u -b "E:/aIEngine/CYGWIN" "/" mount -u -b "E:/aIEngine/CYGWIN/bin" "/usr/bin" mount -u -b "E:/aIEngine/CYGWIN/lib" "/usr/lib" HTH, Igor -- http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/ |\ _,,,---,,_ pechtcha AT cs DOT nyu DOT edu ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ igor AT watson DOT ibm DOT com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Igor Pechtchanski, Ph.D. '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL a.k.a JaguaR-R-R-r-r-r-.-.-.
