^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In order to avoid playing 20 questions, you should probably follow the
problem reporting instructions indicated above. You at least need to
send the cygcheck output for the 32-bit system which is having problems,
but it might also be a good idea to send the cygcheck output for the
functional 64-bit system as well.
Please bear in mind that what you are attempting to do is not really
supported, so don't be surprised if you don't get a bunch of help. That
said, I can't think of any reason offhand that a default installation of
Cygwin 1.7 should fail to work this way. However, a custom /etc/fstab
file or permissions problems could cause grief.
