NO!!! Please do NOT go into the registry for any Cygwin-related thing
unless you know EXACTLY what you're doing. The only conceivable settings
that should be changed in the registry are the per-program options and the
memory management controls, neither of which has anything to do with
mounts. Use "mount" to change the mounts, as the next poster suggested.

This should be the ONLY solution.
One thing to add is that there is more than one mount that needs to be
changed. Probably the easiest way would be to do a blanket
search-and-replace of "c:\cygwin" to "g:\cygwin" in your mounts, using
something like
eval "`mount -m | sed 's,c:/cygwin,g:/cygwin,gi'`"
(please test this first with "echo" instead of "eval", to make sure you
are getting the right values).
HTH,
Igor
