Changing CD Name - not letter

[BH2]

Hi,
Help appreciated guys. I need to rename one of my CD Rom drives not the
letter. I tried to do it by right clicking the drive and rename it, but
that option is not present, I have also tried to do it in the
Administrative tools - Disk Management. Can you explain how I go about
renaming it please
Regards

Create a simple registry hack. Open Notepad and copy and paste the code
below into notepad. Do not copy the "------" just copy the code between
the ------ lines

-----------
CODEWindows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\X]
@=""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\X\DefaultLabel]
@="CHANGE DRIVE LABEL HERE"
-------------



In Notepad, change the two "X" values in the code above to the drive letter
you want to change.

Now change "CHANGE DRIVE LABEL HERE" to whatever you want to label to say
(eg. My Drive)

SAVE the file to your desktop. Then change the extension of the notepad file
you just created from .txt to .reg . (eg. My Drive.reg)

When saved as a .reg file double click the file. It will ask to merge, say
yes.

The next time you open the My Computer window the drive should be labelled
