Just for fun, what is/are the names of your OS X Hard Drive(s)? Mine for example, are "Titan" for OS X and "Stool" for OS 9. The reason I chose those is because I have a Titanium PB G4 and I think OS 9 is a bunch of (and full of) crap; hence, the nice toilet icon and name.
So, let the fun begin....

I've had mine simple over the past few months. My OS X drive is named "Modern" and my OS 9 drive is "Classic".

Haven't you noticed? Chronic cynicism takes no skills, little energy, no education, and if you do it really well in poorly-lit coffee-houses, it gets you laid.

Partitioned my drive into 3 parts, one for nine, one for x, and one for fast access to files used in both systems. Named simply nine, osx, and share. Boring, but to the point... and so easy to work with.

They're named after the two faster Shinkansen trains.

Nothing too exciting here, "Macintosh HD" for the primary, "Mireille" for the FireWire drive, and "Bender" for the 2GB PC Card HD.

I have some names too (If I can get I disk to work)
Yo mamma etc : Is that Cat Deeley?
There we go.. (old) means my Old HD need to know when moving stuff when I installed my new one and since then it was never renamed.
Other partions have been renamed but OS 9 has never left.

Sounding like a bit of a dork...
where did you find the G4 icon, or did you make it? It's very nice and I would love to get a copy.
Thanks,

I've always stayed using descriptive names rather than more 'personal' ones.
My partitions are:
- Mac OS X
- Classic (I will change it's name and delete the few classic reminiscences that i still keep in there soon, since i haven't used classic at all for a LONG time, and i don't plan to use it in the future either.)
- Extra

OK I am a backup freak! I never throw anything away and I've never lost any software. In fact I still have Quicktime 1.0 I think it's a collector's item. Anyway in pursuit of this obsession, I have several duplicates of everything on my drive. Here are my six partitions. The ones named 'Computer' are named after the one that was on Capt' Jim Kirk's ship, of course.

I love the U.S., but we need some time apart.

The top 2 are obvious-- I keep all my files on the 3rd one. The Maxtor firewire drive is just a mirror for backup and troubleshooting purposes.

My hard drives were previously named Balthasar, Melchior, and Caspar. Now they're Yukino, Arima, and Asaba.
Yeah, I'm an anime freak. What can I say? (anyone got any good KareKano icons, by any chance?)

I go with Mac OS X codenames.
So my 10.1.x install drive is called "Puma".
Back in the 10.0 days it was called "Cheetah".
Soon, hopefully, it will be called "Jaguar". :-)

As a big William Gibson fan, my two drives are named "Neuromancer" and "Wintermute." Wintermute happens to be divided into two partions ("Wintermute 9" and "Wintermute X"). Both are 60 GB Maxtor internal drives.

Oh yeah, and I have an NFS mount from my Linux server at /Network/Pictures....it's an iPhoto library that me and my wife share.

Under my partitioned setup I had OSX HD and Classic HD. Since wiping the drive and removing the partitioned setup, I just have "The HD" seems fitting to me.

No nifty icon for me, but it's named Elysium, after the machine.
This may reveal my ultranerd status, but all my machines are named after planes from AD&D.

Chris, do you remember where you got your top two drive icons (and what the name of the set was)? They look familiar but I can't seem to find 'em.

I can't get custom HD icons to show up in X, am I doing something wrong? Isn't it just a matter of copy/paste?
My downloads folder (ALWAYS seperate from the Documents!) has a great picture of the Kool Aid man, for no particular reason... but I'm in 9 so I can't show you.

Once I got the G4, I wanted to keep the same sort of name I had for the Blue G3, "Blue G3 of Power", so I searched http://www.thesaurus.com/ and I came away with a really cool word.

I got 'em from xicons, but they don't appear to be there anymore. I wonder if Apple legal came after 'em?
I've got to go to work, but I can stick 'em on my idisk tonight...

I ran into some esoteric Applescript difficulties with long names & names with spaces, so when I set up 3 partitions on my TiBook, I settled on:

I used to have a Beige G3 named Wallace. I donated it to my former lab when I moved, but now I regret it. That was a great machine

Umm, "he"?!
My OS X drive is named "Hexley" (Darwin/BSD mascot) with a Saltire (Scottish flag) as its icon...nothing wrong with a bit of patriotism!
My OS 9 drive has the same OS 9 icon as Chris's Humungo2 above, and is named "Phoenix" because I've managed to corrupt and nearly completely destroy it 4 times but it still has its original contents...thanks to DiskWarrior and NortonUtils
