[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1948730, member: 396914"] Three ways: 1. Reformat using Disk Utility > Erase and name it at the time. 2. Open DU, right click on the name of the drive to highlight it in the main window and enter the name you want. 3. Locate the mounted drive in Finder and right click to rename it there. Of these, #1 is most drastic, the others don't mess with what's on the drive. You can name the Volume(s) in the Container, but not change the Container name itself, AFAIK. But what you see in Finder is the Volume name anyway, so that's all you need to change. [/QUOTE]
