[RESOLVED] what's causing my hdd drive label to change

My daughter's laptop has a data drive that was somehow renamed to 'orange rockcorps 2010 highlights' and also the icon image next to that is also changed. It won't change back.
Recently the drive had bad sector issues, I installed a new drive, reinstalled o/s and all software on C:\ from scratch, and copied all the d: data to the new disk.

now the data drive on the new disk has renamed itself to 'orange rock etc'. How can that happen? Nothing on c: was copied over. nothing gets executed from d: (at least, not by the user).

I is stumped.

Is this actually 2 physical drives, or 2 partitions on 1 drive?

Software (or malware) can change the drive name and icon, and that is likely what has happened here.

So you mean you have 2 partitions on the drive, C: and D:? And the data partition D: has the label 'orange rockcorps 2010 highlights'? I don't know of too many laptops with 2 drives. You should be able to just click on the label name and rename it. Otherwise, you can use the label command from a command prompt.

label D: Data (or whatever you want to call it)

What do you mean by icon image? If there is an autorun.inf in the root of the D: drive, then it could modify the icon. Check if that file is there.

Could you upload a screenshot?

Yes, should have been more clear. Two partitions.

Midknyte - 1 very clever person point to you. Autorun.inf was there setting the drive name and icon. Deleted, sorted.
