OK, I'm taking a wild guess here, but just in case setup doesn't like the '\/' in the install path, try setting your cygwin root to "d:\cygwin". Also, where is the discspace disappearing? C: or D:? If D:, then if all you have on that drive is Cygwin stuff, it should be easy to track down where the space is going to?
