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.

Windows 10 does recongnize my DVD drive: directory invalid


I just upgraded to windows 10 from 7 a couple of weeks ago. Things were great until I tried to install a game. I put the DVD in the drive and got the following error.
D:\ The directory name is invalid.

I can see the DVD drive in explorer and it is labeled D:

When I clicked on the DVD drive to see the files all the showed up was "desktop" with a type of configuration setting. I'm not sure the software even recognized the DVD. Usually it show up with the title.

I tried a music CD and got the exact same error message.
