I've installed a third SATA drive for use with bootcamp and VM Ware to run Windows on. Everything is setup correctly and works perfectly, other than when I'm in OS X and the third drive is loaded it shows up as an Untitled hard drive and I can't seem to find a way name it.

Is there any way to name it or at least hide the drive?

While in Windows, open Explorer, right-click on the drive in question, and choose "Properties". There's a drive icon at the top of the window that opens, with a text box next to it. Give the drive a name. Click "OK". You're done.

Hmm, didn't even think to do it through Windows. Thanks ghpoter, I'll get that working today.
