Your hard disk is formatted in FAT 32.

COnvert your partition to NTFS with "CONVERT C:/FS:NTFS". Run this command in a Command prompt.

PS: If your laptop has an hidden partition for automatic restore, this one may be destroyed by convert.

Volume label refers to what the hard drive is called. In most computers it is called Local Disk - Then you have drive letters.

Type "dir" at a command prompt. The first line should tell you the volume label for that drive (followed by the volume serial number and then the file listing).

Ahh, DOS memories

You should just be able to hit the Enter button, which sets the volume label to (none).

You might like to try googling any error messages you get - chances are someone else in the world has experienced it before
