I'm not sure I understand this. Should I remove all my fstab entries and
replace with the three lines shown above? Will I still be able to access the
drives with /c/foo/bar?

Furthermore: your example has this line:

     none / cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0

while the original template had this line:

     none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0

Which one is the correct one?

Here's how my fstab currently looks like:

  # For a description of the file format, see the Users Guide
  # http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table
  
  # This is default anyway:
  # none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0
  c:/ /c fat auto 0 0
  d:/ /d fat auto 0 0
  h:/ /h fat auto 0 0
  n:/ /n fat auto 0 0
  t:/ /t fat auto 0 0

Nope. I just tried to hide some private information ;-)
