"Invalid drive e:" error

Hi...
I just bought a Ipod nano and I am trying to install itunes.
But I am getting an error in the instalation.
A window just opens saying:
"Invalid drive E:\"
Does anyone knows what is this problem?
Regards,

even though you're not getting the 1327 error message number with this, the following InstallShield document is usually the best place to start with that one.

Invalid drive G error

So I was trying to figure out a way to get all of my WMA's onto my iTunes on my iMac. So I fiugre I would use iTunes on my PC to transfer the songs that are on there to the iPod, so when I try to open it, it tells me that the file itunes in the folder my music is missing and cannot be recreated. It is not missing, it is still there. Well then I try and reinstall iTunes, but I get this INVALID Drive G error code and it will not let me reinstall or uninstall the program. MY drive g is a usb port so I have no idea what it could be doing?
Any suggestions on how to get my WMA's off my PC and into readable mp3 files?

Invalid Drive G:/ error message when trying to download I-Tunes 9

I have had problems trying to download the last two versions of I-Tunes but as my ipod classic was working wasn't bothering.
I just recieved an Ipod Nano 5th Generation for Christmas and when I plug into computer states that it needs newer version of I-Tunes.
I go through all the process then just at the end of installing I get a message saying 'invalid drive:/G'
I can't use my new ipod or get the latest version of I-Tunes as get error message every time.
HELP !

Hi Any,
I have been getting a similar error when it gets to the quicktime phase, it says invalid G drive.
I found some help on the web that if you go to start and run at the command prompt, type the following: "Subst G: C:\". This gets me further in the installation, but I end up getting an error that says "the specified path is too long G:\lib". At that time, my only option is to cancel out. I have tried starting in my dock with external drive plugged in and thumb drive too to avoid having to use the SUBST command. When I do it this way, I get a different error, 2869.
I have tried just installing quicktime separately, but does not work either. Give it a try, maybe it will work for you differently. let me know your outcome, maybe you will encounter something that will help me too.

Invalid Drive: H:\ error message when downloading iTunes 8.0.2

For some time now, I've been trying to upgrade to the 8.0.2 version of iTunes. I get almost to the end, when I get an error message that says "Invalid Drive: H:\" and then I can't download it. I've tried to figure out the problem, but I have no idea what to do. I'm afraid to remove iTunes altogether and then try downloading it because I don't know if I'll be able to download it then, and if I can't then I won't have the program at all. Any suggestions?

If you are having problems, it is best not to use "Upgrade" in iTunes. DOwnload the installer from the APple site:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
SAve the installer onto your desktop rather than running it from your browser.
Then you can upgrade manually using the installer you saved.
That won't solve your problem, but it simplifies things.
You can often get round the invalid drive message by providing iTunes with the drive while you are installing. DO you know what comes up as drive H:, maybe a camera or external drive?
If you don't have something that comes up as H:, maybe you could plug in a memory stick and allocate drive H: to it.
This article about something else contains instructions for allocating a drive letter.

ITunes will not update to 7.7..."Invalid drive f" error

I can't get around it, anyone got any ideas?

Is that all there is to the error?
Try going through these steps:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
Make sure that during the installation (I believe this is right before you click the Install button) iTunes is installing to C:\Program Files\
Do you have anything mounted in G:? Click Start and go to My Computer. If nothing is mounted in G: it may be helpful to connect something to the computer that can absorb G: and let you get iTunes installed, such as an iPod (any model but the touch), a hard drive, thumb drive, digital camera...

"Invalid Drive X:\" install errors

Disclaimer: Apple does not necessarily endorse any suggestions, solutions, or third-party software products that may be mentioned in the topic below. Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information. Apple does not guarantee that these links will be maintained or functional at any given time. Use the information below at your own discretion.
While upgrading or uninstalling a Windows software package (such as iTunes for Windows or QuickTime for Windows), you may receive the following error message:
Invalid Drive X:\
... where the red X:\ could be any drive letter (F, H, J, or so on.) Usually you won't actually have a drive with that particular drive letter on your system.
Typically, this is caused by a problem with an installer database entry for a component for the software package. The installer database believes that the component is on the X:\ drive. When your Windows Installer goes to remove that component from the X:\ drive while uninstalling the existing version of the software and doesn't find any drive there at all it gets horribly confused and you get the "Invalid Drive" message.
If that is what is afoot with your "Invalid Drive X:\" message, here are a couple of possible resolutions for the problem. If at all possible, attempt resolution 1 prior to trying resolution 2.
1. Temporarily add an X:\
drive to your system.
2. Use the Windows Installer CleanUp utility to clear the installation database for the software you're getting the Invalid Drive X:\ message with.
1. Temporarily add an X:\
drive to your system.
So long as you actually have an X:\ drive on your system, your Windows Installer will typically remain relatively calm during the uninstall of the existing software (even if it can't find the component it was looking for on the drive in question). So one way of getting past an "Invalid drive X:\" message is to temporarily add an X:\ drive to your system.
An easy way to create the missing drive X: (thanks to turingtest2)
Open a Windows Command prompt, e.g. Hit Start > Run, type in CMD and press OK.
Type in SUBST X: C:\<enter>
This will map X: to C: until the machine is restarted or you enter SUBST X: /D at the command prompt. Now you can try uninstalling or upgrading the software again. (If upgrading the software, install the software in the default location, not on the X:\ drive.)
Otherwise, you will need an external hard drive, a thumb drive, an iPod in manual mode, or any other storage device that appears as a hard drive in "My Computer" (on Windows XP) or "Computer" (on Windows Vista or Windows 7).
Connect the drive to your computer. (If you are using an iPod, and iTunes for Windows launches, quit iTunes.) Open My Computer (on Windows XP) or Computer (on Windows Vista or Windows 7). Check to see what drive letter has been assigned to the drive.
If the drive letter for the drive you added matches the drive letter being given in the "Invalid Drive X:\" message, try uninstalling or upgrading the software again. (If upgrading the software, install the software in the default location, not on the X:\ drive.)
If the drive letter for the drive you added does not match the drive letter being given in the "Invalid Drive X:\" message, try using Disk Management to change the drive letter of the drive you added so that it does match the drive letter being given in the "Invalid Drive X:\" message.
(1) In your Start menu, right-click My Computer (on XP) or Computer (on Vista or 7), and select Manage.
(2) In Computer Management, click Disk Management.
(3) Right-click the drive you attached to your computer and select Change Drive Letters and Paths ...
(4) Click Change ...
(5) In the drop-down menu, select the letter that appears in your "Invalid Drive X:\" error message.
(6) Click OK.
(7) In the dialog box that comes up, click Yes.
(8) Close Computer Management.
(9) Try uninstalling or upgrading the software again. (If upgrading the software, install the software in the default location, not on the X:\ drive.)
2. Use the Windows Installer CleanUp utility to clear the installation database for the software you're getting the Invalid Drive X:\ message with.
If it isn't feasible to add a drive to your system, you can also get past an "Invalid Drive X:\" error message by using the Windows Installer CleanUp utility.
(1) Click here first, and read the important information about the utility.
(2) Click the Download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility package now link on that page to download a file titled msicuu2.exe.
(3) Open the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install it.
(4) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(5) Select the software you're getting the "Invalid Drive X:\" message for from the list and click Remove.
(6) Click OK in the confirmation dialog that appears.
(7) If you have multiple entries for the software you're getting the "Invalid Drive X:\" message for, repeat steps 5 and 6 for the other entries for the software.
(8) Click Exit.
(9) Restart the computer.
If you were getting the "Invalid Drive X:\" message when trying to upgrade software, now try reinstalling the latest version of the software.
If you were getting the "Invalid Drive X:\" message when just trying to uninstall software, program files for the software in question will remain on the PC after it has been removed by the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. If you want to remove leftover program files, check in at the appropriate forum at Apple Discussions and ask which files can be safely removed.

Hi turingtest2 & b noir,
Sorry about the delay in getting this out. Has this been tested then? Is there even a good way to test it when the user doesn't have admin privileges?
How would you like it integrated into the tip? How does this look?

Invalid drive error when loading safari

I'm trying to intall Safari, but I get an Invalid Drive x: error. I tried all the fixes that were mention back in 2010, but none of them work. I never have these problem uploading browsers why does Apple have to be so difficult. Geez

Unless you have a compelling reason to use Safari for Windows, I suggest you bag it. It's no longer being updated and may be unsafe to use.

Satelitte L350 - DVD Recovery error "invalid drive"

Hi all,
I'm trying to restore my system with the 2 DVD recovery system (made with the utility).
All goes right until it fails at this point :
Copy Recovery Base files
The volume your selected is not valid or does not exist.
There is no volume selected.
HTMPREP ...
Invalid drive specification
ERROR : Copying of Recovery Base files failed !
Any help please ? So far i can't do anything everything has been erased ....
Thanks.

Hi tunker80,
I would also try formatting the HDD before you start with recovery installation. You can use a normal Microsoft Windows disk to format your HDD. After this you can test recovery installation.
If the same happens you could try installing Windows from Microsoft disk. So you can test if the problem is related to hardware or just recovery disk. If recovery disk is defective you can order a new from Toshiba directly. Therefore follow the link posted by MisterX.

Difficulty downloding Adobe Reader and Error 1327. Invalid Drive H:\

I am having a difficulty downloading Adobe reader on my laptop. For some reasons, I am getting error 1327. Invalid Drive H:\ notification. I have followed the tips on how to resolve this issue from Adobe's help and FAQ pages, but I am still not able to download Adobe reader. This issue begun short while after I installed a Tuneup software from AVG. I contacted this Tuneup company, and one of it's representative guided me through the steps on how to resolve the problem; unfortunately, the correction attempt did not make any difference. Adobe tech support team can fix my issue, but at a cost of $ 40. I do not want to pay it. Hence, I am trying to solve this problem myself. Could any one, who has the knowledge to deal with this issue, please respond to my request?
Thank you in advance for your assistance. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Peter VK Mayangi

Have you tried both solutions on the link from the earlier poster? Microsoft Fixit did not fixit?
If so, you will have to search the registry manually for your invalid drive H:\
Please post back if you are unsure what to do when you find that registry entry.

Error Message...Invalid Drive E when loading ITunes

I have tried to download ITunes for 3 days straight, I keep getting an error message that I have an invalid Drive E. I have done disk clean up, defrag, cleaned out cookies and temp files, what else can I do? Does anyone else get this message? I am dying to use my new phone but I can not unlock or register it.

Bissley,
I have received this error in the past and it is usually caused by Windows automatically changing your external drive letters when you install. There are two ways around it; first, follow the directions provided by b noir. Second, within iTunes go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced
Under the advanced options you'll see a recessed section called "iTunes Media folder location". Although you may have set this in the past it, if Windows changed your drive letters it will no longer be valid. Default is usually "C:\blah\blah\mymusic"
Changing it just a matter of clicking "change" and finding your music folder again or change your drive letter back (if it changed at all).
If Windows is changing your drive letters, it is best to set them yourself so that everytime you plug in the devices they use the letter you assigned. Here is a link for that process:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Change-add-or-remove-a-drive-le tter
Hope it helps.

This means that something in your registry is pointing to a drive that doesn't exist; see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/327763
