Can't rename my Hard Drive

My cat walked on my keyboard and managed to rename my hard drive with about 100 slashes "/" and several spaces. When I attempt to rename it, I get the following error. (I suspect the spaces are the culprit)

I'd be appreciative of a solution.

Thanks,

Larry

Did you try highlight the Desktop icon and use command i to open the preference pane and make the change there.
