RadioActive Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 For some reason I can NOT rename any USB drive, be it my 1TB WD MyBook or my 16GB U3 Flash Drive. No matter what method I use the name doesn't change, it always remains as "Local Disk" on Windows 7 (at least for the HDD). I can normally rename any partition of my internal HDD without problems.Needless to say that I tried almost every method I can think of including using the command "LABEL" from the prompt but nothing happens.So, any ideas?PS: I AM talking about the label not the drive letter.

BillyBootlace Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 On a slightly different note, here is a little freeware program that may help those with usb problems, especially drive letter conflictsUSBDeview is a small utility that lists all USB devices that currently connected to your computer, as well as all USB devices that you previously used. For each USB device, exteneded information is displayed: Device name/description, device type, serial number (for mass storage devices), the date/time that device was added, VendorID, ProductID, and more...USBDeview also allows you to uninstall USB devices that you previously used, disconnect USB devices that are currently connected to your computer, as well as to disable and enable USB devices. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.htmlDownload link is near the bottom of the page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
