Error 1327 Invalid Drive

joslin · 12-08-2006, 07:30 AM

Have a retired PC that was on network. Have cleaned up unit but still can not DL web based programs without unit looking for network drive and then fails to install programs. Unit is set up in admin mode.

When you say "cleaned up", do you mean a complete format/reinstall? If not, you may want to consider doing this.

I gave up trying to solve the problem, wiped it clean and did a complete reinstall. Working like a charm. Guess we should mark this issue solved.

hang about....

I'm looking for a solution to the same problem - Error message 1327:invalid drive H:\

I am trying to download applications using an old work machine, but would prefer not to have to format / re-install everything...

any suggestions?

Wwwill

p.s. am using Win 2k pro with full administator access if it helps.

Did your old PC have an H: drive on the network? My unit continued to search for its old net drive. Took it back to old network and it DL anything I wanted. Could not find out how to break the trail. Good luck.

yeah, I figure that's the problem, but I'm hoping someone may have a solution as to how to change it?

And when I login on the network, I'm not given administrator rights, so I can't check the registry to find where it goes wrong, or install programs. rubbish.

any ideas?

I was the admin and I could get the rights but still could not find the secret. I really did the right thing by scrubbing the HD with the type of info we handle on the network but I was just trying to learn something.
