cygwin and NTFS

[Larry Hall]

Oh, I see.  Did you try jiggering the fizzle?  How about
reconstructing the scrontz manually?  Hm, if that doesn't
do it, you're hosed.  You'll need a new computer to fix
this.

OR

You could visit <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> and follow
the instructions there so folks here have some idea what your
configuration is.  At least it would provide us with some basic
information on which to base further questions.
