Change volume label
The volume label is an optional attribute. It is a name assigned to a volume for easier recognition. For
example, one volume could be called SYSTEM — a volume with an operating system, or PROGRAM —
an application volume, DATA — a data volume, etc., but it does not imply that only the type of data
stated with the label could be stored on such a volume.
In Windows, volume labels are shown in the Explorer disk and folder tree: LABEL1(C:), LABEL2(D:),
LABEL3(E:), etc. LABEL1, LABEL2 and LABEL3 are volume labels. A volume label is shown in all
application dialog boxes for opening and saving files.
If you need to change a volume label:
1.
Right-click on the selected volume, and then click
Change label
.
2.
Enter a new label in the
Change label
window text field.
3.
By clicking
OK
in the
Change label
window, you'll add the pending operation of changing the
volume label .
If when setting a new volume label you use characters that are unsupported by the currently installed
operating system, you will get the appropriate warning and the
OK
button will be disabled. You will have to
use only supported characters to proceed with changing the volume label.
(To finish the added operation you will have to commit it. Exiting the program without
committing the pending operations will effectively cancel them.)
The new label will be graphically represented in the
Disk Management
view of the console
immediately.

Format volume
You might want to format a volume if you want to change its file system:
to save additional space which is being lost due to the cluster size on the FAT16 or FAT32 file
systems
as a quick and more or less reliable way of destroying data, residing in this volume
If you want to format a volume:
1.
Select a volume to format.
2.
Right-click on the selected volume, and then click
Format
in the context menu.
You will be forwarded to the
Format Volume
window, where you will be able to set the new file
system options. You can choose one of the Windows file systems: FAT16 (disabled, if the Volume
Size is more than 2 GB), FAT32 (disabled, if the Volume Size is more than 2 TB) or NTFS.
In the text window you will be able to enter the volume label, if necessary: by default this
window is empty.
In setting the cluster size you can choose between any number in the preset amount for
each file system. Note, the program suggests the cluster size best suited to the volume with
the chosen file system.
3.
If you click
OK
to proceed with the
Format Volume
operation, you'll add a pending operation of
formatting a volume.
