I have XP Home running in parallels (for documents etc...) running wothout any problems & I have XP Pro installed vis Boot Camp (gaming) also running smoothly. My question is not a problem, just an annoyance.

When I'm in Leopard, there's a disc on the Desktop just underneath Macintosh HD and it's just 'untitled'. I want ot rename that disc (it's my XP Pro), but don't know how.

I have a new Alu iMac, 4.4Ghz & 4GB RAm running Leopard.

Go into Windows. Open Explorer. Right click on the drive in the left hand column. Enter a name in the name space. Click OK until all the windows close. You're done. When you boot OS X again, the Windows drive will show up with the name you gave it.
