Question how to relabel a hdd volume??

i want to rename some hdd's at my work location in prep for ghosting backups onto another large hdd.
i noticed that ghost renames a destination partition the same as the name of the source partition.
having the source hdd's renamed for specific people would make things more obvious when making the partition copys.

Open my computer, right click the drive letter and select properties, rename the drive.

Or, if you happen to be at a DOS prompt, type: Label
