Windows 10: Samsung External Hard Drive

Hi Mates!

I'm trying to change the name of my External Hard Drive as it appears as Local Disk G on my laptop. However, upon trying multiple times it keeps on coming back as Local Disk G. Please help.


Thanks and have a nice day!!!

will samsung d3 hard drive encloser work with windows 10

Having trouble getting windows 10 to recognized external Samsung D3 hard drive encloser

 

Cannot see or access external hard drive after installing Windows 10

The problem is with seagate external hard drive. Samsung and seagate have yet to update their driver with respect to windows 10.

 

Hi looking at your picture you cant rename it as C, D, E, F are already connected and in use
I have an external drive I sometimes connect and use and when I do it comes up as E, or F depending what I have connected at the time.
If you wanted to give it a higher letter you would have to disconnect one of the other drives put that one in then reconnect and see if that works

 

The letter you cannot change but the name you should be able to change - with admin rights. Highlight the disk in the page you showed above, then right click on it and "Rename".

 

Hi mates!

The Local Disk G is my Samsung External Hard in which I'm trying to rename using my nickname. however, it won't work and keep on returning to Local Disk G...

 

Have you tried with Admin Rights as other poster has put

 

Another one who does not read what's posted.

 

tried doing that too....

 

I have also the only one I can rename is my main C drive
The rest stay the same

 

Try through Disk Management, but don't change the letter, it may corrupt file paths already created.

 

That ought to work in Computer also. I just changed one partition from 'Test' to 'Test1' without problems.

 

You beat me to it as you cant have two drives named the same but if you put like you have a number after it, it will work
