Hello,
Who know the where the partition names info saved on? in Registry or Disk? for example change the name from "Local Disk" to "My Disk", why sometimes the name cannot be changed in Explorer? thank you
Logic would suggest that it is saved on the device because when you carry it to another PC, the name still appears.
Thank you, i said it's local partitions (HDD).
It is stored on the drive itself. Don't try to rename them in Explorer. Go into Disk Management and rename the partitions there.
In my experience, I've had issues with the names not sticking in Explorer. Yet whenever I rename or label disks in Disk Management, it seems to stick each and every time. The only reason I suggested trying it in Disk Management is because I wondered if this was the same behavior I've come across occasionally.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying my way is best or better. The OP's issue sounds familiar with what I've come across...so maybe their issue mimics mine in solution as well. *shrugs*
