Thanks.  Are you doing the above steps from a directory on your C or D
drive?  If D, is it an internal drive to that machine?  If not, can
you tell us the kind of drive it is and send the results of
/usr/lib/csih/getVolInfo.exe /cygdrive/d to the list.  If you don't
have getVolInfo, please install the csih package.
