[Bug-tar] Problem with Tar command

[John Wildman]

Trying to run this command:

running from the e: drive

tar -xvf tarfile.tar -C d:\directoryname

getting an error that says: 

tar: cannot change to directory e:\/d:: Invalid argument

tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now.

I don't have room on the e:\drive to untar the file. Nor do I have room to copy the tar and untar it on the d:\ drive.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

John
