group ownership of files


I have been using Cygwin for about a month now without any problem. My computer crashed and when I rebooted, even though it started at my home directory, now the home was defined as '/cydgrive/c/cygwin/home/kiwhan' and not just '/home/kiwhan' I scratched my head and poked around and found out that my passwd file was corrupted somehow and

mkpasswd -l -c > /etc/passwd
mkgroup -l -c > /dtc/group

made everything ok.

Now, I lost group ownership to the files I previously made. What I'd like to know is:

Is there any way to have all the files grouped in one group? After many tries, I now have ????? for group name, and that's all I can get. Currently, my files look like:

-rw-r--r-- 1 kiwhan ???????? 16092 May 22 15:46 cygcheck.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 kiwhan Administ 27272 Jun 4 16:35 cygcheck2.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 kiwhan ???????? 4737 Jun 3 16:35 declare.txt
-rw-rw-rw- 1 kiwhan ???????? 4443 Jun 4 12:25 declare2.txt
drwxr-xr-x+ 3 kiwhan ???????? 0 May 30 14:37 geant451
-rwxrwxrwx 1 kiwhan ???????? 988 May 27 15:50 kded.exe.stackdump
-rwxrwxrwx 1 kiwhan ???????? 1085 May 27 15:50 kdeinit.exe.stackdump
-rwxrwxrwx 1 kiwhan ???????? 52 May 29 18:11 kdesktop.exe.stackdump
-rwxr-xr-x 1 kiwhan ???????? 685 May 27 14:24 xinitrc


The file with correct group ownership -- cygcheck2.txt -- is made after the group ownership change, but the rest of the files that were made before the crash indicates that they are grouped to an undefined group.

Here is a copy of group:
