Hard disk volume label

[Guest]

I am trying to convert from FAT32 file system to NTFS so to extend my disk
space but after typing in the convert command it asks for a volume
label.Well, it is not enter for nothing as in when formatting, so does anyone
know how to find what the volume label is?

Open Explorer. What shows up for that drive letter? If nothing, right-click on
it and open the Properties box. Name it. Use that same name for the
conversion.

If the volume label is blank then just press the Enter key when
prompted for it.

Good luck

No problem - Do following;
Open My Computer>Rt. click drive>Properties>General tab>First line will be
the label (not titled as such)- may read something like "DRV1_VOL1".
