Jack-19 How to rename startup disk

Almost there...

I think I should know how to do the following but I am so close to finishing, I don't dare try to do it on my own.

My old startup disk on my computer is named Macintoh HD.

My new startup disk on my computer is named Macintoh HD.

My Time Machine will not backup because of the same name.

How do I change the name of the old hard drive?

Thank you.
