Dear Experts

I am sick of this issue, I have been experiencing same issue in the thread below :

Cannot rename HDDs - [H]ard|Forum

I have got 4 hdds two IDEs (each one 40 GB to be used for storage purpose) and two SATAs (Seagate 500 GB and western digital 1 T8).

SATA Seagate 500 GB has two NTFS partitions named as show below C name as ST_OS (for OS windows 7 ultimate 64 bit) and G named ST_STORAGE (for a storage purpose) I can rename them to whatever I like,,,,please see the snap shot below :

F --> WD_STORAGE1
J --> WD_STORAGE1

I won’t be able to see the names, only I see the letters ( i.e. F and J ) for them
While when I access my computer through the ‘ Safe Mode’ (F8 boot process) I was able to see the name and letter for the SATA western digital 1 TB , please see the snap shot below :

F --> WD_STORAGE1
J --> WD_STORAGE1

I have shared those two partitions [ F --> WD_STORAGE1), J --> WD_STORAGE1 ] on my home network I can see names and letters on other computers that have those two partitions mounted to them (map network drive)

Why am I experiencing this issue ?

Do I need always to live with register editing

The drive order may be causing an issue. I'd recommend that you not have F and J split 'over' other drives. Change F and J so that they are L and M respectively to see if the problem is fixed.

Change, add, or remove a drive letter

Let me know how it goes.
