By "labels" you mean the names, or the lettering?

I'll assume you are using Windows.

  • Open "My Computer"
  • Find the drive you want to rename
  • Right mouse click on it, and select "Rename"
  • Type in the new name for the drive


That should work in Windows XP, and 2000, and probably other versions of Windows too, but I can't be 100% sure off the top of my head.

If you want to change the drive lettering, do the following:

  • Right mouse click on "My Computer"
  • Select "manage"
  • Computer Management will then open -- select "Disk Management" from the left hand side of the window
  • Find the drive you wish to reletter and right mouse click on it
  • Select "Change Drive Letter and Paths" (might be worded slightly differently)
  • It should bring up another window. Make sure you highlight the drive, then click "Change" (again may be worded slightly differently depending on your version of Windows)
  • There will be a drop down box from which you can select drive letters -- pick one.
  • That's about it....


Hope that helps. Obviously I'm working off Windows XP, but I know that there are slight wording differences in Windows 2000 that tend to throw a few people, and I'm not sure about other versions of Windows off the top of my head.

If you wanted a non Microsoft based operating system... I'm not quite sure. It's fairly easy to rename your drive in OS X, but let me know if you need to know.
