Go to my computer c drive and right click and then just type your new name. You can also change it under disk management.

Right-click on the drive and choose Rename... ?

I'm pretty sure you cant rename a hard drive, just removable drives.

You can name it anything you want but late for supper.

Do you mean the drive letter, or the name? If it's the letter, I wouldn't do it. Here's the article: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=223188, but take a look at the "For the most part this is not recommended" quote. At worst, your system will fail to boot, at best, you'll be left with minor problems that are probably more annoying than having the wrong drive letter.

If it's just the name, as everyone's said, right click on the drive and hit rename.
