I think you did not install the WHOLE cygwin, that is available for download.
if you do, cygwin-setup makes all for you (PATH, mounts and so on).
At the end of install, setup asks you if you want a link on desktop and starmenu,
say yes. If you call cygwin with that link (shortcut to cygwin.bat in d:\cygwin),
everything works for the most of us cygwinners.

either you need to quote the backslashes (mount d:\\ /)
or you write: mount d:/ /
After you did a setup of the whole cygwin and let it set up the shortcuts, cygwin.bat
needs to modified a little bit!!!
You should include there these line:
set CYGWIN=binmode tty
(minimum change, there are others possible, read ug)
You could also set CYGWIN in your windo*e environment permanently.
so long,
ahh, do also a setup again from time to time, to be sure to get the latest versions.
