Hi, I remember vaguely having to rename the drive to .Untitled somewhere in Windows, but I can't remember how or where...can someone refresh me how to get rid of the Untitled Hard Drive on my Mac OSX Desktop?
By the way, I'm running BootCamp.

Ok UPDATE:
This doesn't work in Leopard. I did some research and apparently the only way to fix this is rename the HD in Windows by right clicking your drive and going to Properties and adding a "." to the beginning of the drive name i.e. .Untitled.

Hmm, sorry, I thought that would work. Does the Finder prevent you from appending a dot to a volume?

If the partition is formatted as an NTFS format you wont be able to write to that partition (including renaming the HD), the only advantage of using the FAT format is so you can read and write to the windows partition.

there are apps you can get to write a NTFS partition: MacFuse & NTFS-3G. I use both of those and they work.

Well either way, it was easy enough to do it in Windows.
