You can trey changing permissions and volume name in the registry, at your
own risk, of course.
Go to Hkey_ Local>system>Mounted devices, right click>permissions. Then
from the same location, Hkey_local>system>mounted devices, look on the right
side for the partition you want to rename, it'll be something like Dos
Devices( drive letter).
