I have a Windows Home Server 2011 box (based on Windows Server 2008 R2).
For ease of use I label my data drives with what is on them:
Data (E:) [500 GB SATA]
Data Backup (R:) [500 GB USB]
My Data drive (and so it's backup drive) recently became near full so I added an internal HDD and an external HDD, moved everything except my photos to the new drives, re-labeling E
and R
to Photos
and Photos Backup
respectively - no drive letters were changed, just new ones added.
Now in Disk Management I have the following layout:
Photos (E:) [500 GB SATA]
Data (F:) [2 TB SATA]
Photos Backup (R:) [500 GB USB]
Data Backup (T:) [2 TB USB]
My problem is that this has not been reflected in Windows Explorer / My Computer. The old labels are displayed:
Data (E:) [500 GB SATA]
Data (F:) [2 TB SATA]
Data Backup (R:) [500 GB USB]
Data Backup (T:) [2 TB USB]
If I look at the Properties for each drive from Windows Explorer this also shows the old labels.
I have tried re-labelling using Disk Management, Windows Explorer F2, the label.exe command line and Windows Explorer Properties window but nothing works.
How can I force Windows Explorer to show the correct labels?
