Windows 10: Please help! Usb drive not working at all. Directory name is invalid please insert disc...

Not long ago i bought a new usb drive a 64 gb sandisk and it worked fine, but now for some reason when I plug the usb driver in it give me a "the directory name is invalid error" and when i try to access my files it says "please insert the disc in to usb drive". I tried a bunch of thing like doing a chkdsk or making a new simple volume cause i saw that in a bunch of tutorials but when I try to make the volume it gives me a data error cyclic redundancy check. It's possible that my usb drive is corrupted and now unaccesable but please help if there is a solution to it.

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

Hi SumitDhiman02,

Thanks heaps for your suggestion. Alas, same result. I f I just insert a disk it gives the Invalid directory and if I insert a disk when asked it shows it as a rewritable disk. I chose drive G: because my USB external HDD is drive F: and working perfectly.
Thanks again.

Hi,

It seems that your USB is having an issue. We suggest running Check Disk to find and repair errors in the USB drive. To do so, please follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key + X and then select Command Prompt (Admin).
• Copy and paste chkdsk E: /f, then hit Enter.

Please use chkdsk E: command to check the integrity of your USB drive.

Note: Change "E:" to the USB drive letter you're using.

Let us know the result.
