Many thanks. I tried it and it worked. I could see in the Console that it has 
changed to/drive (instead of /cygdrive). 

  # mount
  C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
  C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
  C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
  c: on /drive/c type system (binmode,noumount)

And I could cd to /drive/c from Console too.

But when I tried to restart sshd, I got this message:

  # net start sshd
  bash: /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/net: No such file or directory

Do I need to change somewhere else too?
