How do I change my external HD disk description in Disk Utility? I can change the mounted partition name, but not the disk description (which is right above it). Thanks!

You can't.


Standing request for all troubleshooting: Please provide your Mac model/year and OS version. Also advise us if you have used or installed any antivirus, security, or "cleaning" software on your Mac. If you have installed MacKeeper in particular, you are hereby advised to uninstall it.

If all else fails to fix your problem, read this tip.
