Volume label VOLUME LADEL

You need to locate the current volume label on the drive.
The easiest way to do this is from the command prompt, you type in vol(space) then the drive letter you are converting & press enter. It will then tell you the volume name, and then on the second line the serial number for the drive.

If I understand you correctly, you are asking why the volume label for C Drive is called "OS" instead of "System". Is this correct?

Which operating system ??

In Windows and on a Mac, you can use an icon shaped like an audio speaker to adjust the computer's volume or mute the sound output completely.

Whichever operating system you are running, it is possible to remove the volume icon from the screen.

If you have removed the volume icon accidentally, you may not have a convenient way to adjust your computer's sound volume.

Restore the sound icon to resume using it to adjust the volume or mute your computer's sound output.

Click the "System Preferences" icon on the dock.
If you have removed this icon from the dock, click the Apple icon at the top of the screen, then click "System Preferences."

Place a check in the box at the bottom of the window labeled "Show volume in menu bar."
The sound icon appears at the top of the screen.
Close the window to resume using your computer.

Sometimes my external drive fails to mount. What I do to force it is follow these steps:

Click start and open up a command line window. Either find it in the Accessories folder or type cmd at the search.
In the cmd window, type 'diskpart'. A new command window might pop up. In the new window, or the same one if a new one doesn't pop up, then type 'list volume'. It will list a number of volumes on the system in the form:
Volume ## Ltr Label FS Type Size Status Info.
Find your hard drive in this list and note the volume number. I usually find the hard drive by comparing Sizes, but it should also show your hard drive's name under Label.
Next type 'select volume x' where x is the volume number for your volume. So for instance if your hd happened to be listed as Volume 3, you would type 'select volume 3'.
Now, type 'assign letter=G' or whatever letter you want your volume to be. Once you've done this, your volume should be mounted and you should be able to access your drive normally.

Take a look at this:


Labelled No.8 = Volume Up button.
Labelled No.9 = Volume Down button.

If you need further help, let me know.

Good luck.

When a hard drive has been formatted, the user can give the storage space created a name: that is the volume label.
For example, on a PC computer the main hard drive is recognized as C, the CD-Player as D: and if a USB key is plugged in it gets drive letter E:
In addition to these Drive letters, the user may choose to give a more "meaningful " name to one or all drives. This additional name is the volume label. It is usually optional on PCs.

You digital media player is also a hard drive and the storage space on the media player (where you store your files, songs) can have a NAME or volume label.

you do not require to put anything in the volume label infact there must be a check box under the volume lable box uncheck it and try.
if the problem persists simply put any label keeping in mind it dose not match your existing drive label.
thank you.
