No medium found

[Maya Kafirum]

Hello!!
I am having serious problems getting cygwin to work properly on a WinXP.
I don’t understand why it keeps saying that the ‘user’ medium was not found.
This not only happens when cywing is started, which fires a error message 
saying that ‘mkdir’ was unable to create the users’ directory and then puts 
the user in the ‘/etc/skel/’ subdirectory, but it also happens when the 
users tries to go to his/her ‘HOME’ directory i.e. ‘chdir ~’.

In the second case; where the users types ‘chdir ~’, cygwin throws just one 
message saying: “bash: cd: /home/the_user: No medium found”. However, when 
cygwin is started it displays an array of messages:
“mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/the_user’: No medium found
Copying skeleton files.
These files are for the user to personalise their cygwin experience

/usr/bin/install: accessing `/home/the_user//.bashrcÂ’: No medium found
/usr/bin/install: accessing `/home/the_user//.bash_profile: No medium found
/usr/bin/install: accessing `/home/the_user//.inputrcÂ’: No medium found
bash: cd: /home/the_user/: No medium found
bash: /home/the_user/.bash_profile: No medium found “

I have searched cygwin looking for a posting or an email that would indicate 
that someone else has had the same type of problem, but to no avail.
Thus, I am not sure if I have run into a common bug or if this is one of 
those cases where one has to file a bug report.

Could you please tell me what could be causing this problem, or if I have to 
file a bug report?
Thanks in advance.
