Changing HD Icon name

A friend gave me his old G4 400mhz Powerbook. I am trying to put some games on it for my step kids. The HD Icon is called / as in slash.
When starting the game I get a warning,
The path"/:cda:Desktop:Scholastic's Math Grades K-2" contains a slash (/) or backslash (\) or period (.) Remove character from appropriate folder ...try again.
I click on the / (HD icon) change the name no luck it is still registered as / when I try to startthe game. I reboot it teh HD returns as /.

Should be simple but I am getting a little frustrated!

Any Thoughts
Thanks

If it keeps resetting to "/", try restarting from an install cd and then change it at the desktop.
