Volume label

[Guest]

I own a Sony PCG-FXA36. The drive was divided into two sections
(partitioned??), C and D, by the manufacturer. C section is FAT; D is NTFS.
I've tried to convert the C section to NTFS using the "help convert" command
in the DOS window, but the response I get is that I need the correct Volume
label. I've right clicked on the drive icons within "my computer", but there
are no volume labels specific to the drives. Question: How do I assign
volume labels to C and to D? I'm a neophyte at this; thank you for whatever
help you can provide to me.

The volume label is what is displayed next to the drive letter. If you
haven't changed it, it is most likely "Local Disk".

Open a DOS window.

Type: label c:

The response will be a couple of lines that tell you what the CURRENT label
is - giving you the option to change it. Write down the label.

Hit Ctrl-C to exit the command

Do the same command with D:

I did as you suggested; it worked. Thanks very much for your advice.
