re-naming a drive

Show all headers | View raw

I'd like to give some harddrives a catchier (and shorter) name than 
the present IDEDisc4 on my RiscPC, and "BootDiscSp" and "16GbDiscSp" 
on the customer's RiscPC that I am updating for him.

Is there some clever way of doing it, maybe an alias or macro or 
something (I have little experience of thsee), that would avoid all 
sorts of niggles such as "Please insert disc BootDiscSp" from other 
software?  Or from other agents on the network.

It would be nice if apps such as Pinboard would still recognize the 
old drivename, without my having to manually edit its saved script.  
Otherwise it would take ages to remember all the applications that 
might have files that would need to be edited, not to mention all the 
scripts in !Boot.
