Actually, from either a DOS or a bash (or other cygwin) shell, you can do:
tar cvf test.tar /cygdrive/c/test
Get used to POSIX paths - cygwin is a Linux emulation for Windows, and POSIX paths will work in more places than DOS paths (not to mention that backslashes are a pain to use on the command line with regards to proper quoting rules between the two different styles of shells, but forward slashes work great in both cases).
howver, can I mount /cygdrive/c as c:/ and run as tar cvf test.tar c:/test ?
