How do I find disk volume label

[Guest]

I am attempting to convert a disc partition from FAT32 to NTFS, under XP.
When I enter the convert command i am then asked to enter the volume label
for that drive. If I open the properties window, I find nothing called
Volume label. There is an entry box that contains " LOCAL DISK", the
descriptor using My Computer is "LOCAL DISK (E". I have entered both of
these as the volume label and simply "E:", and the response is that this is
an incorrect label. Searching the Help index gives no direct information,
and related topics don't seem to apply.
Thanks for any help.

Hi,

Sounds like the drive is not labeled at all. It is not required, instead of
typing something in, just hit <enter>.

in "my computer view" right click the hard drive and select properties.
There give it a label ( a name).
Best is to do it for all drives / partitions so they are easier to identify
and use.

C:\>vol /?
Displays the disk volume label and serial number, if they exist.

VOL [drive:]

"Local Disk" normally means there is no label, i.e. label property is Null.

when doing convert _do not_ surround drive letter in quotation marks.
For example: convert E: /fs:ntfs will convert drive E:

You do not need to enter the Volume name. If you do Convert /? that will
tell you it needs either Volume name or Drive letter. So in your case, if
you do not know the Volume name or if your Drive does not have a name,
simply use the drive letter followed by colon.

in the command prompt type: convert volume /fs:ntfs /v

I know that it's this one: convert C: /fs:ntfs /v

let me know what happens.

 

[phillip maurice nelson]

go to command prompt & type:convert volume /fs:ntfs /v

or type: convert C: /fs:ntfs /v

I am having the same problem and tried every solution that you have all
offered...but the question prompt is still "Incorrect Volume Label was
entered for this drive"

Set your own label like so:
- Click Start/Run/cmd {OKI}
- Type this command:
Label C: mydisk{Enter}

Choose whatever label name you fancy.
