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.

DVD drive reports E:/ Directory name is invalid

This is driving me mad - I have an HP Notebook with Windows 10. We haven't used the disk drive for quite some time and may have used it since installing Windows 10 but it doesn't work - error message says E:\ The directory name is invalid. I have tried
all sorts - have followed all the instructions on HP support site including checking BIOS and redit and all other things I don't really understand. I've searched for new drivers, disabled, enabled, uninstalled, installed, changed the drive letter. This is
maddening!!!

Can anyone suggest a fix??

 

E:\ The directory name is invalid


I am running Windows 10. I had a USB stick in the computer. After an update-restart, I ejected the USB drive, and now my computer is slow after idling and there was a nagging message that asserts itself. First it was something about what do you want me with removable drive E.

I finally clicked on that message, now i get the message "E:\ the directory name is invalid" Now that pops up before I do any clicking on anything.

I'm not sure if I inadvertantly indexed the E drive, or if its just that the E drive must be there.

It slows my computer anytime it has been idle for 10 minutes or so.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
