There is no way to "increase this field".  It's read only and reports 
what's available and what's used.  Based on the output you've provided,
it seems to me that you have lots of space on your "D" and "F" drives.
You'd be better off installing Cygwin there.

Please visit the FAQ <http://cygwin.com/faq/> to find out how to uninstall
Cygwin so that you can reinstall it on your "D" or "F" drive.
