    Hello

    Format the HARD drive and try to restore the system using the disk recovery once more.
    If this does not work, then several reasons could be responsible for this problem.

    (1) the recovery discs are corrupted, or not created properly
    (2) the HARD drive or partition is may be defective

  • Error 1327 on installation of c309g photosmart printer - "invalid drive c:\.

    Am running Windows XP SP3 and the printer is connected via a wired router

    Have recently changed my HARD drive and reinstalled windows etc., original HARD disk is functional but not connected

    Original letter from HARD drive is c: new HARD drive partitioned into I: J: & K:, with windows, etc. on K:

    After the installation of windows on the new drive, original HARD C:\ drive was briefly re-established as slave to recover the 'Favorites' folder and then broke

    When installing printer CD, all right until the error message "drive not valid error 1327 C:\ - go to the web support etc.»

    Printing software seems to completely uninstall and requires a re-boot, but there are still a lot of HP entries in the registry

    Went pages support web and found the error message that seemed to relate more to a mistake of the drive letter of the CD than the HARD drive but followed steps, copy the disc in the HARD drive, download the full drivers etc Web but every time got exactly the same message

    Final solution should contact the support technician to correct the registry entries, but this seems to cost £21 so eager to find a solution elsewhere

    Can someone please?

    Hello sidsilver

    The problem is that there is a problem with the the drive letters on your computer. Microsoft suggests that you change the system for anything other than C:\ drive because many Windows programs refer to specific drive letters. It is part of the reason that the system drive can not have his letter changed without reinstalling the operating system. Change, add, or remove a drive (windows.microsoft.com) Letter

    At this point, the best solution would be to re - install Windows on the computer and install it on the C:\ drive/partition.

    However, before you reinstall Windows try the following:

    1. Open the command prompt
    2. type: "subst C: K:\. "without the quotes and press to enter.
    3. Restart and try to reinstall again.

    Registry path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Delivery

    {Note:- drive letter C--> is the default location of the program files on the C: drive.} }

    Hello
    • What version of Windows are you using?
    • How long have you been faced with this problem?
    • What were the changes made before the show?
    • What is the full error message that you receive?

    I recommend the clean boot and try to install in clean boot state.
     
    Configuration of your system in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.
     
    See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

    I've done an update for a long time on an old computer unused spare XP and Windows Update said that he had to update a large number of files, so I have left to download and install.  Once the 45 updates completed, I rebooted as instructed and proceeded to clean a lot of old data.  Apparently I deleted (7) files for Office M/S that must be installed, because the Winows Update icon in the status bar telling me I had 7 sto update to install.

    Now Win Update always tells me that the files should be updated and starts the process, telling me that they are already downloaded, but it fails every time because they are not where they should be, as I deleted them without meaning to.  How can I do the update for these startup files, or where can I get the appropriate files to allow the update work properly?
