I have an external Hard Drive with two bootable partitions on it. The first is an image of a Mac OS X 10.6 Install DVD, and the second is an image of a Mac OS X 10.6.3 Install DVD.

When I plug the hard drive into a Mac Mini, and turn it on holding down the Alt key, I get the option to select which boot device to use. However both my bootable images are named "Mac OS X Install DVD".

How would I change the name of the bootable image?

I have already tried changing the partition names but this has no effect.

Any ideas?

If you have the partitions mounted, can you change the name in Finder? Or is that what you did? – jtbandes Aug 9 '10 at 3:37
Yeah, that's what I did, but it has no effect at all. – DanieL Aug 9 '10 at 3:44
Did you try and use Disk Utility? – Sisyphus Aug 9 '10 at 13:08
Yup, have tried that also, but to no avail. – DanieL Aug 10 '10 at 5:53
