I need to give my C: drive a volume label. I have tried several ways offered by Win2K, but I am not allowed because Access is Denied or You do not have Rights to perform this (not exact words). I built the computer and installed the OS over a year ago. I am logged in as administrator as I am always since I'm the only one who uses this computer. All the other drives have volume labels. The only difference is that C: is NTFS and the others are Fat32 file systems. I *really* need to fix this because ThumbsPlus is having fits without this label. At first I thought I could boot to DOS and FDISK to name it, but now I don't think so since it's NTFS. Can somebody help me here?
Thanks

I assume you double clicked My Computer and right clicked on the C: drive and used the label there. If this is what your trying to do. Otherwis you'll have to change it in the registry.

First of all - ensure that you definitely have administrator rights for this drive.
Go to C: and click on properties and then go to security and make sure that you are in the list of people who have full rights to the directory.
NTFS has different and far better security that FAT32 File system. It could be this.
Post back if you need more help

In dos you use the command "label" to give the drive a label not fdisk.
Go to control panel/computer management/administration tools/disk manager and right mouse click on the drives description to give it a label.
