Note: Some file systems—for example, FAT16 and FAT32 (see below)—do not allow certain characters in
the volume label. The OK button will remain disabled as long as the label you typed contains such
characters.
3. Click OK to add the pending volume label changing operation.
The results of the pending operation are immediately displayed as if the operation was performed.
To perform the pending operation you will have to commit (p. 22) it. Exiting the program without
committing the pending operations will effectively cancel them.
Label characters not allowed in FAT16 and FAT32
The FAT16 and FAT32 file systems do not allow the following characters in the volume label:
backslash (\), slash (/), colon (:), asterisk (*), question mark (?), quotation mark ("), less than sign (<),
greater than sign (>), and pipe (|).
Volumes whose labels cannot be changed
You cannot assign a volume label to a volume whose file system is shown as Unsupported,
Not formatted, or Linux swap.
If an Acronis backup product, such as Acronis True Image Home, is installed on your machine, you
may have a volume known as Acronis Secure Zone (ASZ). The volume label of this volume cannot be
changed.
5.10 Changing a drive letter
Windows operating systems assign drive letters, such as C, to volumes to locate files and folders on
them.
You can set up, modify, or remove the drive letter of a volume that is supported by Windows;
namely, a volume whose file system is FAT16, FAT32, or NTFS.
The change will affect only the Windows operating system whose disk layout is currently selected—
by default, the currently running Windows operating system. For information on how to select the
disk layout, see Disk layout (p. 21).
Caution: Avoid changing the drive letter of a boot volume. Otherwise, the corresponding Windows operating
system or some of the installed programs might fail to work normally.
To change a drive letter
1. Right-click the volume whose drive letter you want to change, and then click Change letter.
2. Select a new drive letter from the list of available ones. To leave the volume without a drive
letter, click Do not assign a letter.
3. Click OK to add the pending drive letter changing operation.
The results of the pending operation are immediately displayed as if the operation was performed.
To perform the pending operation you will have to commit (p. 22) it. Exiting the program without
committing the pending operations will effectively cancel them.
