does not work : change /cygdrive to /

Hi, I am trying to change the path prefix from /cygdrive to / and I tried the following commands, mount --change-cygdrive-prefix / mount -s --change-cygdrive-prefix / but neither works! There is no error code returns, but "cd /c" returns error and I have to use "cd /cygdrive" again.
