Volume name for HDD in Windows 7 Home Premium
I have given descriptive volume names to all HDD that I have (e.g. "WDGT 250GB OS C Drive" is what it would show for C drive in name column in Windows explorer. However, now I observe that the volume name shows up only when I boot into safe mode. If I boot into normal mode, it only shows as "Local Drive (C:)". Also, this phenomenon is restricted only to internal drives. External USB drives are shown correctly.
I suspect this has to do with some Windows 7 setting / registry entry as the names do exist properly and also show up in safe mode. Only in normal mode they show up as blank (when I right click and select Properties on the drive letter) and that too only for internal drives only.
Any help to resolve this issue will be greatly appreciated.
