The thing is, I know it worked before.  I am actually using 
/cygdrive/c  
As that's what appears as default in bash.  I previously put \cygdrive\c out
of habit. 
Something has changed though.  I think I may have been trying to change a
setting a while back, not realizing that I was breaking it.  I essentially
just need to know how to reset Cygwin settings back to defaults(the way
everything was when I installed it) so that I could get bash to access my
harddrive(via cygdrive) again.  I am unable to find this information
anywhere, however. 

Thanks, 

Shaun S.
