You can you string substitution if you prefer, but using cygwin you can also use the command cygpath.
This command convert the parameter supplied as path in Windows-style to path in cygwin-style, you can use it as follow:

b=$(cygpath $b)

you can do it this way:

b='D:\juno_workspace_x64\9.0.4_app\moneycenter\src\webapp\jsp\billreminder' 
b=\\cygdrive\\d\\${b#D:\\}
echo $b

Simply remove the second $ sign:

~/> echo ${billreminder/'D:'/ '\\cygdrive\\d'}
\\cygdrive\\d\juno_workspace_x64\9.0.4_app\moneycenter\src\webapp\jsp\billreminder

You can use this substitution:

s='D:\juno_workspace_x64\9.0.4_app\moneycenter\src\webapp\jsp\billreminder'
echo "${s/D:\\//cygdrive/d\\}"
/cygdrive/d\juno_workspace_x64\9.0.4_app\moneycenter\src\webapp\jsp\billreminder
