This is not a valid directory name. If you are already have valid DriveInfo d for some drive, you can get a valid file name by using System.IO.DriveInfo.RootDirectory property:

C#

string fileName = //... simple file name
fileName = string.Format(
    "{0}{1}{2}",
    d.RootDirectory,
    System.IO.Path.PathSeparator,
    fileName);

Please see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.driveinfo.rootdirectory%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^].

If you need the file in some subdirectories, first create them under the root using System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory:
