Accessing local hard disks

[Mathis Severin]

Hello

For accessing local hard disk there are several possibilities. To make the
task easy you can mount the different disks into the Cygwin file system or
you can create symbolic links in the root of the file system using
/cygdrive/c. 

My questions are: 
- Which is the prefered way to choose ?
- What is the difference between these two solutions (pros and cons) ?
- Concerning performance, in what cases is the symbolic link the worse
solution ? (Only when the link has to be resolved or even when a linked
drive is the current working directory)
- When defining the symbolic links, what is the difference between using
/cygdrive/c and //c ?

Thanks for your comments
Severin Mathis
