C: Drive renamed, cant rename it to anything else.

I recently had a virus on my computer and decided to just reinstall the OS from top as I didnt have anything vitally important anymore. My C: drive was renamed to "Alcatel PC Suite" which is the name of the software I have for my cell phone.

When I right click to rename it, I can type a new name in, I can click ok, it asks for permission and I can also click ok. Im an admin and the only user for the newly installed OS. After I give it permission, it still says the old name in My Computer.

However when I go to properties of my C: drive, under the general tab, it has the new name listed.

Help?

It may not solve the problem, but it's worth a try.

Welcome to Seven forums Lunatist. While in the C\: properties retype another name/Apply/OK, close eveything. Repeat and type the name you want instead.
