What kind of error are you getting on your 2nd internal drive? You should be able to change names without any problems...

Hmm, "Get Info" on the drive and see if you can change the name...

Sorry to bother you, I figured it out, it was set to read only for some reason, and because you can't repair permissions on it, i changed ot manually! Thanks for the help!
