Hi,
You must be logged in as an administrator to be able to do rename a drive.
EXAMPLE: Rename a Hard Disk Drive
EXAMPLE: Rename a DVD Drive
NOTE: Devices with Removable Storage, such as a DVD drive, can only be renamed by adding a label at the end of the drive
description using OPTION THREE below. These devices do not have a Rename option in the context menu when you right click on
them in Computer or Disk Management.
Rename a Drive in the "Computer" Window
NOTE: For Devices with Removable Storage, such as a DVD drive, that do not have a Rename option, you could use OPTION THREE
below instead.
1. If you did OPTION TWO below previously, then you will need to either remove the label=new drive name entry from the
autorun.inf file, or delete the autorun.inf file in the root of the drive that you want to change the name of.
2. Open the Computer window.
3. Select the drive you want to rename to highlight it, right click on it, and click/tap on Rename.
4. Type in a name you want for the drive, then press enter.
5. Click/tap on Continue.
6. If prompted by UAC, then click/tap on Yes (Windows 7/8) or Continue (Vista).
7. The selected drive is now renamed.
