Error 1327. Invalid Drive I:\ Help!

quiet777riot · 08-26-2006, 12:28 PM

Hi all,
I need help with this cause I am unable to install or uninstall anything because of this error message: Error 1327. Invalid Drive I:\ which makes no sense, because I am either trying to add\remove programs from my main C:\ drive. I:\ is my external hard drive-Maxtor. What do I need to do to fix this? Thanks ~Tina

Welcome to TSF,

Click Start>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management>
Disk Management>Right-click the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive- check/change the drive letter and paths.

If that’s not it, it might be a registry key. Post back with your drive configuration andd how they are lettered

Hmm. Connecting my external harddrive to my computer fixed the problem for some reason. I am now able to install, and uninstall. It's only when it's disconnected that I get that error message. Wonder why.

My guess would be that the installer is finding an install path in the registry to that drive but since the drive isn't connected, it produces an error message

I must say that this problem cost me expensive time and money!

After a ling search I was able to get a solution for this problem! check out his article about Invalid drive Errors message when installing.

It's a problem of MS. For example a C# program would fail that way if programmer is not informed to search for something.
