I think your solution is in changing the drive P to drive D, you are not being allowed because there are some dependancies on drive P, Look for the sawp file, this might be in drive P so if you change the swap file destination to drive C and then try renaming the drive P to drive D - it should allow that, and this could be the solution to your problem

&nbsp; I have a user with Windows XP Pro laptop and one HDD partitioned in 2. One partition is the C: drive and the second is P: Drive. The user can't install any software , he gets error 1327 Invalid drive D. I have gone under computer management and try changed the P drive to D but it doesn't allow me to. When we tried to install any software we change C to D or P to D but nothing works. Any help to get this resolved asap will be great.

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
