You have answered my question perfectly, thank you. I'm sorry that I posed it so badly. Then line I tried in /etc/fstab none / cygdrive binary 0 0 failed because the syntax was wrong. You provided the correct syntax none / cygdrive user,posix=0 0 0 and everything works as required. Thanks again. Fergus
