Solution to Error 1327: Invalid Drive
I was migrating a Parallels virtual machine to VMWare Fusion. After importing the VM and starting it, I tried to install VMWare Tools but repeatedly got the message Error 1327: Invalid Drive Z.
It turns out that as part of its OS X integration Parallels writes entries to the registry.
The solution was to type regedit at the Windows command line and use it to remove any entries at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/User Shell Folders
that began with Z:. After that, everything was happy.

I had a similar problem, but I had to change the same key at HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
