If you want to change the name of a volume, such as that for a hard drive or a partitio to one, you do it exactly the same way as changing thee name of a file. Click the volume's icon once to select it, then press the Return key; this will put the volume's filename into edit mode. Type in the ne name, then press return again.


Note 1 - if you're referring to a CD or similar volume, one which is locked or otherwise can not be written to, you can not change its name.


Note 2 - if you're using File Sharing on a network, changing the name of a volume will interfere with access between machines.
