Changing partition labels

  • Partition label is an optional attribute. It's a name assigned to a partition for easier recognition of your partitions. For example, one could be called System - a partition with an operating system, Program - an application partition, Data - a data partition, etc.

  • Note
    • In Windows, partition labels are shown in the Explorer disk and folder tree: WIN98(C:), WINXP(D:), DATA(E:), etc. WIN98, WINXP and DATA are partition labels. A partition label is shown in all application dialog boxes for opening and saving files.

  • To change a partition label:
    • Select a partition which label needed to change.
    • Select Disk - Change Label or a similar item in the Operations sidebar list or by clicking Change the selected partition label on the toolbar.
    • Enter a new label in the Partition label window.
    • By clicking Proceed you'll add a pending operation (your actions may only undo or modify already existing operation; see Modifying pending operations).
  •  
  • The new partition structure will be graphically represented in the Acronis Disk Director Suite main window.
