disk not seen after adminstrative re-install

[Chris Winne <fsbooks at yahoo dot com>]

I should know that if it ain't broke, don't fix it,
but...

In any case, seeing in installation that installing as
user did not provide all functionality, I decided to
reinstall as administrator.  Following installation
and relogging in as myself, my first sign of something
fishy was an extra cygwin icon.  My real sign of
trouble was my second harddrive (e:) was nolonger
mounted.  I apparently have a double mount:

$ mount
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (binmode)
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type user (binmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin on / type user (binmode)
C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode,noumount)
j: on /cygdrive/j type system (binmode,noumount)
k: on /cygdrive/k type system (binmode,noumount)
l: on /cygdrive/l type system (binmode,noumount)
p: on /cygdrive/p type system (binmode,noumount)
q: on /cygdrive/q type system (binmode,noumount)

$ mount -p
Prefix              Type         Flags
/cygdrive           user         binmode
/cygdrive           system       binmode

Also, out from standard error with cygcheck, I got the
following:

cygcheck: dump_sysinfo: GetVolumeInformation() failed:
5
cygcheck: dump_sysinfo: GetVolumeInformation() failed:
59

I am considering just uninstalling and reinstalling as
myself, but can this be fixed up otherwise?  Decided I
really should just have a personal installation, as
local adminstrative privileges will soon be lost and
that might make a system install problematic for
updates. I was a little rash :-(
