No, exit from cygwin and STAY OUT. Use the regular ms-dos window
(cmd.exe) to make the c:\home directory

Yup, because you're in bash and '\' is an escape character, not a
directory separator.

You're using bash's builtin mkdir (or cygwin's mkdir.exe), and it's
using the mount table. You need to use MS's shell so it won't know
about the mount table.
