Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-4480:
-------------------------------------

Is {{E:\parquetfiles}} a file name or a directory? 

I have a Windows 10 machine so I can take a look at some point

> Hi everyone,
>  
> importing this from Github:
>  
> I encountered a problem while working with pyarrow: I am working on Windows 10. When I want to save a table using pq.write_table(tab, r'E:\parquetfiles'), I get the Error "No such file or directory".
>  After searching a bit, i found out that the drive letter is getting removed while parsing the where string, but I could not find a way solve my problem: I can write the files on my C:\ drive without problems, but I am not able to write a parquet file on another drive than C:.
> Am I doing something wrong or is this just how it works? I would really appreciate any help, because I just cannot fit my files on C: drive.
