Oct 23, 2008 1:38 PM in response to Oscar Moreno1by Jan Hedlund,Is it not possible to manually change to Macintosh HD by clicking in the name field?
It would probably not be a bad idea to run Disk First Aid (repair if necessary) before doing anything. Also, you may want to update the hard disk drive driver (back up important files before doing this).

Oct 23, 2008 5:18 PM in response to Jan Hedlundby Grant Bennet-Alder,As Jan is suggesting, the Hard Drive is an Icon like any other Icon in a Folder or on the Desktop. If you select the name-field below the Icon and type a new name, you should be able to rename it to almost anything that is a valid Icon name.
It may be possible that you have suffered damage to your Drive, but if it boots up properly, I think it is more likely you leaned on the keyboard with the Hard Drive name selected, and accidentally changed it to non-displayable characters or null. -
Oct 24, 2008 6:45 AM in response to Oscar Moreno1by Oscar Moreno1,Thanks to both repliers. As one of you described, I clicked on the name the very first time after booting up from the PRAM battery change. I changed to "Macintosh HD" and it did not take. The computer boots up normally. I can run applications. However the two symbols in the HD name do not change no matter what I do. I'll try the Disk First Aid and see what happens.

If you have Tech Tool or Tech Tool Pro you can do it from there as well.
