Recent Cygwin did this nastiness to you (us).  You need to do this in
your init file or similar, to tell Cygwin "Hands off!":

 (setenv "CYGWIN" "nodosfilewarning")

I also added that to `setup-cygwin.el', in case you want to use that:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs-en/download/setup-cygwin.el

(Cygwin folks apparently don't like this...  See Emacs bug #14541:
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=14541)

HTH.
