I got this nice little Sandisk "sansa express" MP3 player that plugs into the
USB port on my XP machine.
Unlike other USB devices I've used, Windows doesn't give this thing a drive
letter, but does something else; it shows up on the "explorer" window and kind
of acts like a drive there, but it doesn't show up in the /cygdrive directory.
Is there a way I access this with cygwin as if it were a drive ?
Check under the Disk Management snap-in in Windows (under Administrator
Tools, Computer Management). If it shows up there, you should be able
to set a drive letter. If not, you may be able to access it using /dev/sdXX
syntax. See <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html> for
guidance on how to map the information you see here into /dev/sdXX form.
