No way to "rename" a drive without reformatting?

Hey guys, I had formatted an external drive but did not give it a name so it's showing up as "Untitled". I called up Apple support and the tech said no way to remake without having to reformat but I have a lot of info on there so I am seeking some other way.


Is there no utility out there I can use to rename please?

When you Right-Clic on the drive in the Finder do see the Rename option in the popup menu? Also, if you click Show Info you should be able to modify the drive name in the Inspector.
