Hello? *tap, tap, tap* Is that thing on?

Guys, did anybody of you even *try* to come up with the solution?
I will definitely not lift this objection.  The whole problem we
were talking about was to get the root directory from a given
Windows path.  The solution is DEAD SIMPLE, so I'm really wondering
what's up with you. 

Sometimes I'm feeling I'm in the wrong movie.  Do you really need the
solution from somebody else?

  cygwin_conv_to_full_win32_path(cyg, win);
  func_ptr = GetProcAddress (LoadLibrary ("kernel32"), "GetVolumePathName);
  if (!func_ptr || !(func_ptr) (win, root, MAX_PATH))
    {
      strcpy (root, win);
      if (isalpha (root[0]) && root[1] == ':' && root[2] == '\\')
        root[3] = '\0';
      else if (root[0] == '\\' && root[1] == '\\' && root[2] != '\\'
               && (c = strchr (root + 3, '\\'))
        c[1] = '\0';
      else
        return ERROR_INVALID_PATH;
    }
  GetVolumeInformation (root, ..., &fsname, ...);
  if (!strncmp (fsname, "FAT", 3))	/* FAT, FAT32 */
    return IS_FAT;
  return IS_NOT_FAT;


Sigh,
Corinna
