Look in My Computer, it's next to the drive letter if you have one.

Don't have a volume label it will look
Local Disk (C

Have a volume label (say XP) it will look
XP (C

If 1 just press enter when it asks for label.

IN MY DISK MANAGER THE DISK IS LISTED AS:

"DISK 0
BASIC
27.95GB" AFTER THE DISK ICON, IT CALLS
OUT: "DISK1PART01" I HAVE ENTERED BOTH OF THOSE AND IT
STILL SAYS INCORRECT VOLUME LABEL.

I said look in My Computer not Disk Management. Has the drive been formatted?

The hard disk is formatted it is loaded with my business

files that I am trying to move to my new computer and
hard drive.
in My Computer the ID on the disk is "DISK1PART01 (C,
i tried that and it said nothing just went to the next
line with the fashing curser. Then, it would not let me
do anything..
i even tried putting the disk1part01 as the tag on the
convert line and it came back with invalid parameter _C.

You can find it, if in the Command prompt you first use
VOL C:
when it will be on the first line.

Also note the Volume Serial number on the second line, and before doing
the conversion, read up at www.aumha.org/win5/a/ntfscvt.htm
