I just realized that *of course* the entries would not be in /etc/passwd, as you had a different mount for "/", so "/etc" would resolve to "c:\etc", not "x:\cygwin\etc"!

Perhaps looking for "setup.log" files on your harddrive would help... At a guess, you've tried to install Cygwin as "Just for me" with the root in "c:\" at some point or another. You then changed your mind, but the mount stayed around, not affecting anyone but yourself.
