In the registry Go to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
Under Explorer make a new key and name it DriveIcons.
Under DriveIcons make a new key and name it whatever the drive letter is.
Such as F or G.
Under the drive letter make a new key and name it DefaultLabel.
Open DefaultLabel and in the value, click modify and put in whatever name
you want. Reboot and the drive should read what you named it.
