  Ok, "No medium" means there is no such drive.  So, the problem is that the
drive you installed cygwin onto is no longer connected to the computer.

  Perhaps it would have helped if you'd sent us your cygcheck output.
Otherwise, we have to try random guesswork.  So here's my random guess:

  Is it possible you've got an incredibly complex setup where you've installed
cygwin to a USB drive and you're trying to share it between two different
machines?  


    cheers,
