Windows 10: device/drivers, media player won't burn. Says E:/ directory name is invalid

I have Windows 10 with media player 12. Cant burn cds. Started with error message," windows media player cannot burn the files. If burner is busy, wait for current task to finish. If necessary, verify that the burner is connected properly and that you have installed the latest device driver." Tried uninstalling MP and restarting computer as well as running troubleshooter to no avail. (Thanks for the suggestions on that, BTW). Now am getting error message, "E:/ directory name is invalid" but this went away after I ran the troubleshooter. I can play cd's but not burn them no matter what kind of disc I use. HELP!

:)

 

E:\ The Directory name is invalid

I have tried many things and no luck for this. I can play a movie or dvd. I checked device manager and it says e: and says this device is working properly, but when i have to back up files or burn files and try to play it back I get E:\ the directory name
is invalid.

DVD drive reports E:/ Directory name is invalid

Hi All,

After doing a clean install on my PC of Windows 10 whenever I insert a disc in my DVD drive (Drive E I get the error message Directory name is invalid. Device Manager reports that the device is installed (LG BD-RE BH10LS30) and working properly. An attempt
to update the driver returns the message The latest driver for your device is already installed. If I click on the drive when it is empty it says "Please insert a disc in drive E:" When I do this it shows the disc as a rewritable DVD whether it's a .cda audio
disc, bluRay DVD or anything else. I took advantage of this and burned some files to a rewritable DVD. Whenever I insert this disk it is immediately recognised and I can open the disc and view all the files on it. Anything else it just says E:/ Directory name
is invalid. I have the same problem on my laptop although I have not yet done a clean install here but just installed the free download for Windows 10.

PC = Gigabyte GAZ87X-UD3H and Intel core i7 4770 with 8 GB of 1600 MHz RAM. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
