use the label command

go to the drive you want to change

a: prompt, c: prompt etc.

type "label"

then type the new label you want to apply

by wlbowers

LABEL [drive:][label]
LABEL [/MP] [volume] [label]

drive: Specifies the drive letter of a drive.
label Specifies the label of the volume.
/MP Specifies that the volume should be treated as a mount point or volume name.
volume Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon), mount point, or volume name. If volume name is specified, the /MP flag is unnecessary.

This is from Windows 2000 dos. At your Dos prompt type: help label and press enter/return. Your version of dos will return specifics.
