Just for the record, pangaea wasn't a mythical city, it was the name for the huge mass of land back in the time when all the continents were connected.

Yesterday is History,
Tomorrow's a Mystery,
Today is a Gift...
Which is why it is called the Present.

Personally I find it hilarious that you have the hots for my gramma. Especially seeins how she is 3x your age, and makes your Brittney-Spears-wannabe 30-something wife look like a rag doll who went thru WWIII with a burning stick of dynamite up her a** :)

Renaming the hard drive should not affect anything, renaming your home folder WILL. DO NOT RENAME YOUR HOME FOLDER.

All my machines are kept at "Macintosh HD" My External drive and the way I do it in Windows is juat based on manufacturer... Hitachi, Seagate, etc. I think I'm gonna have to address this as I start to buy multiple drives of the same brand, I probably just do it by size; Hitachi-160, Seagate-80, etc.

HD: "ROCKO X"
External FW HD, partition 1: "ROCKO X BACKUP"
External FW HD, partition 2: "OASIS"
iPod: "ELECTRICO"
To explain...
In the mid-90s, when I first switched to a Mac, I was a fan of the Nicktune "Rocko's Modern Life", a cartoon about the life and times of a modern Wallaby in the big city, anyhoo... I named that first Mac "ROCKO", my second Mac "ROCKO II", and so on.
I'm on my tenth Mac now since 1996, and that means my HD is named "ROCKO X". No relation to the operating system(!)
I've carried this naming system through years when I've had both a desktop and a laptop--like right now, when my old eMac, "ROCKO IX", is sitting next to my swank new MacBook, "ROCKO X", until I sell the former.
"OASIS" is my aptly named emergency partition.
"ELECTRICO" is the word for "streetcar" in European Portuguese, and I'm a big fan both of transit and of Portugal, so I figured why the hell not. After all, my cat is named "Camoes", after a classical Portuguese author, so the geekdom knows no bounds, really ;-)

I did a search for something and found that thread. I wanted to post the names of my disks.

In general, unless dredging up an ancient (older than six months) thread provides really important information, we frown on bringing it back from the dead. Your disk names do not seem to add to the overall wealth of human knowledge, so they just don't meet that standard...
If I modded this forum, I'd delete all the new posts and let it slip back into the abyss.

Why is it that people jump all over someone for posting a new thread on a topic that's already been covered and other people jump on someone for bringing up an old thread with new information?
Pick one, people. Thanks go to liquidsilver for doing his own search first IMO.
