    You can name partitions in Linux IIRC. The reason was to make the mount table disk independent so that you could swap disk position (hda2 instead of hda1) and it would still mount correctly. -- You still have your old friend Zoidberg. You all have Zoidberg!

                I never put labels on my harddrives, and if the system does when installing a new disk, I always remove it.

                                I tend to name mine after periodic table elements. At home: C: - Boron At work, it depends. If a machine is DriveImage'd, I always make the C: drive something "known", like OpSys, so it an be scripted easier. Otherwise, though, I stick with the chemical theme... I have (or have had) Hydrogen, Helium, Neon, Sodium, Potassium, Lithium, etc. :-D If your nose runs and your feet smell, then you're built upside down.
