From: Jeff Deifik <jdeifik@weasel.com>
So I tried to redo my mount points.
I typed 'mount --reset', which produced no errors.
I typed 'mount d: /', and I got the message
mount failed: Device or resource busy
I thrashed around a bit, without being able to mount d: as /
I would prefer not using the registry editor if possible to fix this.

What you need is not mount -reset. You need umount:
bash$ umount /
bash$ mount c:\\ /
This will do it. ( In my computer, I mounted the root as following: bash$ mount e:\\gnuwin32\\b18 / )

Subject: mount woes
I have a computer running windows nt 4.0 server,
sp2.
I installed beta-18.
I wish to mount d: / since my NT partition is there, and I
installed beta-18 there.
I have read the readme.txt, which refers me to faq.txt.
I have read the faq.txt, which says:
>Where did my mount points go?
>=============================
>
> Earlier releases stored mount points in the registry under
"Cygnus
>Support". This changed to "Cygnus Solutions" starting
with beta 18.
>Either use a registry editor (regedit under NT) to rename the old entry

When I type mount, I get what I assume the defaults are, which are:
Device
Directory
Type Flags
\\.\tape1:
/dev/st1
native no-mixed,text!=binary
\\.\tape0:
/dev/st0
native no-mixed,text!=binary
\\.\b:
/dev/fd1
native no-mixed,text!=binary
\\.\a:
/dev/fd0
native no-mixed,text!=binary
c:
/
native no-mixed,text!=binary
Any ideas?
