ERROR: bash: /etc/profile: No medium found

[intiha Ho gai]

No I am not doing anything complex. I actually had everything running
on my machine. The only new thing I did was reclaim the disk space I
had reserved for my dual boot FC6 and added that as a separate HD. But
initially it was installed on c: anyway.

What is even more interesting is that my system is now working perfectly..
I did do two things on my own. I copied the /etc/profile from my
working laptop to my desktop (they were different.. I dont know why!!
the one my desktop didnt have the warning at the top.. so I am
assuming it was manual edit - that got installed some how!).

Then I also ran the setp but explicitly specified the path to be
c:\cygwin instead of the generic D:\ that it was coming up with..

I am not sure what fixed it.. but I am very happy right now .. touch wood.
