Invalid Drive Error When Installing Itunes
noir, Burwood (Christchurch), New Zealand Level 9 "Invalid drive X:\" install errors | 10319Views | Last Modified: May 30, 2012 4:57 PM SymptomsWhile 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, there are a couple of possible resolutions for the problem: (a) temporarily adding an X:\ hard drive to your system, or (b) clearing the installation database for the software package for which you're getting the "Invalid Drive X:\" message.(a) Temporarily add an X:\ hard drive to your systemSo long as you actually have an X:\ hard 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:\ hard drive to your system.If you don't have a hard drive available, you could try using the SUSBT command at the command prompt.(1) Launch a command prompt. How you go about doing this depends on which Windows operating system you're running.If you're running Windows XP, first open your Start menu and click "Run". Type cmd into the "Open:" field and click "OK", as per the following screenshot:If you're running Windows Vista or Windows 7, open your Start menu and type cmd into the "Start Search" field. Right-click on the "cmd" item

Everything came to halt when I could not open my itunes. Error was "itunes folder in My Nusic not found and could not be created" But this folder does exist in c:/documents and folders/ian/My Documents, My Music, iTunes . I removed itunes and ipod from my computer and the tried to reinstall. The reinstall encountered :error 1327 Invalid drive :f\" Which stops any further install - prevents me from doing ANYTHING. Ipod dies. I have the feeling that iTunes like Norton and Maccafee are all pevasive arrogant pieces of software. Any ideas anyone. Am new to the ipod philosophy. Never expected anything like this.
