Ian W Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Yea, never got that myself. I didn't understand it at first, but then I realized that labelling them helps to prevent me from accidentally formatting the wrong partition (when installing or re-installing Windows, for example).

Phouchg Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I've not so many disks (or volumes, to be precise) to need name them (in case of KRONOS up there I can see how it may help a bit) It's Local Disk C, D, E and X for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elangab Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 "Steven 10" I named my first hard drive, many years ago, "Steven" - after Steven Spielberg (was a big fan when I was younger), and every time I got a new System drive/New PC I named the drive - Steven 2, Steven 3 etc... Can't stop doing that, it's too late in the game :) But in the home server it's Data A, Data B etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagum Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 While I have 4 hard disk in my system, I only like to see a (250GB) C: drive. The other 3 are mounted via: 1TB C:\Home\ 1TB C:\Users\ 1TB C:\Games\ Before that, I'd used to use the serial number of the drives as their names. Also, I have autorun.inf file setup on the root of all my drives/USB sticks with a nice icon. Makes it easier to see what's what based on the icon most of the time as my USB drives are called "Removable Disk". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
