No I am not doing anything complex. I actually had everything running
on my machine. The only new thing I did was reclaim the disk space I
had reserved for my dual boot FC6 and added that as a separate HD. But
initially it was installed on c: anyway.
What is even more interesting is that my system is now working perfectly..
I did do two things on my own. I copied the /etc/profile from my
working laptop to my desktop (they were different.. I dont know why!!
the one my desktop didnt have the warning at the top.. so I am
assuming it was manual edit - that got installed some how!).
Then I also ran the setp but explicitly specified the path to be
c:\cygwin instead of the generic D:\ that it was coming up with..
I am not sure what fixed it.. but I am very happy right now .. touch wood.

Ok, "No medium" means there is no such drive. So, the problem is that the
drive you installed cygwin onto is no longer connected to the computer.
Perhaps it would have helped if you'd sent us your cygcheck output.
Otherwise, we have to try random guesswork. So here's my random guess:
Is it possible you've got an incredibly complex setup where you've installed
cygwin to a USB drive and you're trying to share it between two different
machines?
cheers,
