Not a good CVSROOT. You should NEVER put the actual physical path
including drive letters into a CVSROOT string!

You cannot use a pserver or other remote command to create a
repository on a remote computer...
Creating repositories is a task done from the CVSNT Control Panel and
you have to be logged on locally to the server's console or via remote
desktop.

And read the FAQ to learn what other information you should be
collecting and supplying to support a question like this:
