Reini - There is 35GB free on the C: drive of our Windows 2003 server. The 37MB readout is a bug, as is the -64Z used, as is the 1.0G Size.
However I have just tested copying a 995MB file into c:\cygwin\bin and it was fine. There is no limit to the files I'm able to install into other directories on C: on this machine also. Igor - thanks for the suggestion but no, no quotas are installed also if they were the test I just mentioned would have failed. This problem only started to occur at one point, I think it was when I tried to change the permissions on some files in /etc/ the SSH daemon key files or config if I remember rightly. To keep it simple it is probably going to be best (as Larry suggests) to delete cygwin, then reinstall it at a later date when I have time. Shame. Thanks for your input everyone.
