[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1638447, member: 46727"] Changing drive names is easy. Just click on the drive and its current name will be high lighted. Type in whatever name you wish and press return. You may have to re-select the drive with its new name in Time Machine to let it know. Changing your user name is more complicated and if done incorrectly can lock you out of your data. Make sure you research how to do it before making the attempt. The Apple KB has several good articles on the subject. And don't even think about making the change unless you have a full backup. ;) [/QUOTE]
