This works for me, even if I run it from a D: drive:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    FILE* f = fopen("C:/msys/1.0/doc/msys/COPYING", "r");
    if(0==f)
        {
        fputs("Cannot open file\n", stdout);
        fflush(stdout);
        return 1;
        }
    while(!feof(f))
        fputc(fgetc(f), stdout);
    return 0;
}
