VDS_E_PACK_NAME_INVALID

VDS_E_PACK_NAME_INVALID reports invalid Logical Disk Manager pack identity data. A pack groups dynamic disks and volumes, and its name comes from the provider/driver metadata rather than from a filesystem label or a mounted-folder path.

Validate the pack object, not the volume label

Query VDS_PACK_PROP and preserve both the object ID and returned name.
Check whether the pack is foreign, offline, missing or being imported.
Review provider and LDM logs before attempting any destructive disk conversion.

Changing a volume label cannot repair pack metadata. If the provider exposes inconsistent pack objects, refresh and re-enumerate before deciding that the on-disk configuration is corrupt. Avoid cleaning a disk or recreating a pack based solely on this HRESULT, because those operations can destroy all dynamic-volume metadata.
