HDDs won't be able to modify partition name

[zillah]

Dear Experts

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

https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic153190.html

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 TB).

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 :

SATA western digital 1 TB has two NTFS partitions as well named F and J ,,,,, please see the snap shot above, whenever I (username that has admin privilege) rename (Right click properties then rename or through diskmgmt.msc tool to edit the drive name) those two partitions as 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

Why am I experiencing this issue ?

Do I need always to live with register editing

Hi again zillah :wave:

Sorry to hear you still have your problem.

I noticed one new thing from your old thread. You discovered it works when you're in Safe Mode? But not normal mode boot? See How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7. Don't remember if we mentioned this in the old thread.

Good luck!

p.s. Also, maybe a long shot, but also test to see if any difference by turning off real-time protection in your antivirus or other anitmalware products like spybot etc. as maybe some anti-malware product is trying to "protect" those registry changes

Yes

No I didn't mention that because I had not thought about it at that time

I will try your suggestion and see how it goes

Thanks
