I'm using the following syntax:
cd '/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings'
I get a " No such file or directory" message.
cygwin on WinXP installed to C:/

I get this message no matter which directory I try to cd
into. Driving me nuts Please help.

Please post output of
mount -p

Sure thing:

acidblue@xpbox ~
$ mount -p
Prefix              Type         Flags
/cygdrive           system       binmode

acidblue@xpbox ~
$


You should probably double check the pages found here:

http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames

in the Using Cygwin document. Probably you have a problem with
the mount table.

oh, oh i get this error:

acidblue@xpbox ~
$ mount -s c:\\ /c
mount: warning - /c does not exist.

That looks fine - it is a warning that /c didn't exist, but mount will automatically create it. Again, see the man page for mount, as well as the page in the User's Guide:

http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#mount

Note especially the "-f"  option, which will force mount to be silent when
creating mount directories.
