How to navigate to a directory in C:\ with Cygwin?

Viewed 469163

I'm trying to install PyQt4 so I can mess around with it. The installation guide said I had to install Sip. The last step to installing Sip is to use the make install command. Windows doesn't have that, so I looked it up and everything I saw said to install Cygwin. So I did. But...sip is in C:\Python31\sip.

Can I run this from the Cygwin command? If so, how would I do that?

Or can I run this from the normal windows command prompt? If so, how would I go about that?

The one I like is: cd C:

To have linux like feel then do:

ln -s /cygdrive/c/folder ~/folder

and use this like: ~/folder/..

$cd C:\

> (Press enter when you see this line)

You are now in the C drive.
