I believe the instructions just say to install in /tools. You don't need to
worry about the fact that that is actually d:\cygwin\tools. The
instructions should not say "d:\tools" anywhere - please tell me if they do
since that would be a mistake!

If you follow the instructions, what you should end up with is fine.

The configuration tool should automatically create the mounts it needs, but
if you want to be sure, you could type the following at the bash prompt:

mount -f 'c:\' /c
mount -f 'd:\' /d
