Can't rename Windows drive

Several months ago, I briefly tried Ubuntu on my computer. Ever since then, the hard drive (C:) is named "Install Ubuntu". I can use the rename function (Click on Computer, right click on "Install Ubuntu (C:)", select Rename) which lets
me type in a new name. I click Continue when it asks about administrator permission (I am running as administrator), and the name immediately changes back to Install Ubuntu.  I have searched Regedit for Ubuntu and come up empty. I have removed all the
autorun.inf files found with search except for two in zipped files for programs I have installed.  I found a .drive file that Ubuntu left on my drive, but removing it has not solved the problem.

Hi,
Any update here?
Have you tried the method offered by Mr. coreyp, to rename C: drive in safe mode?
Besides, as the things here are related with some settings inside Ubuntu, we might also consider to seek help in the Ubuntu forum support:

  • I Lost my Windows Drive

    I have Snow Leopard 10.6.1  and Windows 7 on my MacBook.
    I added new partition in Snow Leopard, after that I can't access Windows ( even in Boot menu with "Option" key ) and can't see Windows drive in finder.
    I tried Windows Repair, but it just recognized my windows, can't calcute  drive size or other details.
    totally, I lost my Windows and Windows Drive
    Can anybody help me?

    Sounds like the drive could be corrupted. Sometimes taking the drive out of the machine and plugging it in to another machine with a "bare-drive-to-usb2-adaptor" can allow volumes to mount that can't otherwise. This would at least allow you to recover files.
    Here's the one I use

    but I have the prior gen which is USB2 only. The new one does all. It's an amazing tool and anyone doing amateur HD recovery should have it (or a different brand).

  • Can't rename a Canvio 2TB USB 3.0 drive

    Hi, I've just got 2 Canvio 2TB USB 3.0 drives but couldn't rename either drive in Windows 7's explorer nor Mac OS X's Finder (with the Mac NTFS driver installed). Tho the new name is shown from the drive's "properties" but the name appear in Explorer is still the default "Toshiba Canvio Hard Drive". This is inconvient when I have 2 drives mounted but can't tell which one is which.

    I always wipe new external drives clean.
    If you have an autorun.inf file in the root, then ljaygould is probably right. It's this line that needs to change.
       label=Toshiba Canvio Hard Drive
    Microsoft recommends you disable autorun altogether. Too much malware uses it.

  • Can I install windows 7 on a potable Hard Drive using boot camp? or any other way to do so?? need help for college please

    I need to use windows in order to use Visual C++ for college but I don't have enough space in my internal Hard Drive so I want to install windows 7using boot camp or any other method on a portable hard drive and boot from it.
    Please help I need it as soon as possible for school. Thanks

    You can't boot Windows natively except on internal drives.
    You can use a VM and put the VM image (VHD) anywhere any drive you want.
    You are way too low on disk space, seriously so. And no room - even Windows and Mac OS should be warning and balking already.
    "emulator" is an old-school term, even true, running a Guest OS under Mac's as a virtual machine, shared resources (RAM, processor) is easier but not the same performance level as running natively.

  • How can I install audio driver from BootCamp into Windows 7?

    After an uneventful installation of Window 7 (64) onto iMac  cor 2duo OS X 10.6.7.
    NO SOUND.
    I have tried to replace the Audio Driver HD through Device Manager: it is not working
      a) if I disable the Windows Driver and try to install the Cirrus driver from the BootCamp disc, I am informed that "device already has the optimal driver"
      b) if I unistall the WIndows driver, Sound Video Game Controller disappears from Device Manager-so there is no place through which I can install a new driver.
    c) If I start from the BootCamp/Driver folder and select Cirrus and Install, I am again getting the answer that the "device already has the optimal driver"
    I am frustrated! Please, can you advise how to proceed?

    You do NOT want to disable unless you are not going to use a device.
    You want to rollback or uninstall and get Cirrus driver.
    Try Boot Camp (Setup) repair-reinstall - to enable the device.

  • Requirement is to run CMD.EXE under the Local System Account. So that we can map a network drive to be used by a windows service, which will be created by command: - net use z: \\servername\sharedfolder /persistent:yes

    Environment:
    OS:  Windows 7 32/64 bit, Windows 2008 Server 64
    bit/ Windows 2012 Server 64 bit
    Priority:
    - Critical
    Requirement: - Since
    the Windows Service is running under the Local System Account, we would like to emulate this same behaviour.
    Basically, we would like to run CMD.EXE under the Local System Account. So that we can map a network drive to be used by a service using following
    command
    net use z: \\servername\sharedfolder /persistent:yes.
    Already Attempt:
    We tried to launch the CMD.exe using the DOS Task Scheduler AT command.  Here’s a sample command:
    AT 10:36 /interactive cmd.exe
    But I received a warning that “due
    to security enhancements, this task will run at the time excepted but not interactively.”
    It turns out that this approach will work for XP, 2000 and Server 2003 but due to session isolation
    Interactive services no longer work on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and above.
      2.  We
    tried to create a secondary Windows Service via the Service Control (sc.exe) which merely launches CMD.exe.
    <Drive>:\sc create RunCMDAsLSA binpath= "cmd" type=own type=interact <Drive>:\sc
    start RunCMDAsLSA
    In this case the service fails to start and results it the following error message:
    FAILED 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
      3. One
    suggestion, we found to launch CMD.exe via a Scheduled Task, but
    it is not giving any option to launch CMD.exe in interactive mode; so that I can map network drive using net command.
      4. I read an article, which
    demonstrates the use of PSTools from SysInternals. I launched the command line and executed following command
    psexec -i -s cmd.exe
    PSTools worked fine, but It seems that in scope of Sysinternals Software License
    Terms. You may not "use the software for commercial software hosting services."
    Application will deploy on client, which will be like commercial,
    so we are not able to use PSTools.         
    Kindly assist us for achieving the requirement. We have tried all the ways, but nothing is working for us. Kindly suggest.
    I will be really thankful.

    Hi Sir,
    Nothing worked from above for us. You can see our remarks on posted query.
    That’s why, we posted on forum.
    And there will not be any vulnerability, because, if we will use "net
    use ..."
    in network domain; definitely,
    we will provide username and password of mapped drive system.
    And, that system, itself is given by client; so that, there must not be any vulnerability; they are ready to provide user name and password.
    We need a way; by which we can complete the requirement. Kindly assist.
    Regards,
    S. P. Singh

  • Script to connect and rename a drive works on Windows 8.1 but not Windows 7

    I have a script to map a drive to a WebDAV share and the staff wanted it so the Drive shows up as Onedrive and not \\http......etc So I added entries to the script
    to rename the drive to that. It seems to run and work perfectly on Windows 8.1 but on Win 7 it maps the drive but the rename part doesn't work. Even running the rename section manually in a separate script on Windows 7 does nothing. Is there a different rename
    command for VB for a Win 7 OS?

  • I have a early 2008 Macbook Pro, need to up grade the hard drive so that I can add a windows environment what is the largest drive that I can put in this computer? Is the storage size the constraint or the physical size of the drive? Or a combination?

    I have a early 2008 Macbook Pro, need to up grade the hard drive so that I can add a windows environment what is the largest drive that I can put in this computer? Is the storage size the constraint or the physical size of the drive? Or a combination?

    The largest capacity HDD that you can install is the HGST 1.5 TB HDD:

    Any 2.5" 9.5mm thick SATA HDD will fit and operate in your MBP, regardless of capacity.

  • Mac OS drives no longer visible, can only boot windows.

    I have 4 internal drives and 1 external drive on my Mac Pro. Three drives are Mac OS, on internal drive is XP, and one is Win 7. At the moment I can only boot from the Windows drives. The Mac drives are not visible from boot camp or at startup holding the option button down. I know the cause, but I dont know how to fix it.
    I caused the problem while booted into Win 7. I was trying to install VS2010 beta 2. The program failed to install, and I found out the problem was that the installer was trying to access the Mac disks. I removed the drive numbers from the 3 Mac disks, and the installation worked. After I relettered the disks I was able to see them from Win 7 (not XP).
    I assume I somehow messed up bootcamp. I have no idea of how to fix this. I would appreciate any help.

    We have a BootCamp forum.
    Do any of the drives show up in Disk Utility?
    Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Repair reports and if DU was able to repair them. This could just be a start in repairs and you may need a better utility to finish the job.

  • Windows error msg:  "Can not write to drive G: Joe's iPod"

    Halfway thru the download process (1780 songs) from itunes to my ipod I get a windows error msg:
    "Can not write to file G: Joe's ipod. All the data has been lost. Check for an error on your computer or network."
    Getting the error msg: " Can not write to drive G: Joe's ipod. All data has been lost, your computer or network may have failed."
    "Windows/ My computer" shows my ipod as drive G: and itunes starts up properly when I plug my ipod into my firewire port. About halfway thru the download (1780 songs) the transfer from itunes to my ipod stops and I get the above error message. (Never worked with USB). I am not on a network.
    According to tech supt, I have:
    -Installed Service Pack 2,
    -Restored ipod to factory settings
    -Installed update 5.0.1. Everything worked fine last Feb with the version 4 of itunes when I first loaded everything up.
    Have tried to reinstall version 4, but no luck.
    My ipod charges fine thru the firewire cable.
    Any ideas?? Thanx anyone.

    Joe,
    I am having the same problem, did you ever solve it, please email me at [email protected] with any help

  • Satellite U200-115 - CD Rom error - can't activate the drive from windows

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having some problems with my DVD rewriter drive on my Satellite U200-115.
    It works very intermittently and whenever I power up the machine, the first notice I get is 'cd-rom error' even though there is no disc in the drive.
    I can't activate the drive from windows either (icon in system tray).
    There is the odd occassion when the drive does work in windows but this is so infrequent that I can't remember the last time (I think it was back in Nov 08).
    I want to restore the system as I am getting a lot of windows file icons instead of the proper icons for images e.g. pdf, doc, etc. but am worried that the drive wont read the disc or will stop working during the recovery process.
    Any ideas would be gratefully received.
    Best WIshes
    Nick

    If its a software issue the drive will not stop working during the recovery procedure.
    Do you get a CD-ROM error in Windows?
    You could try to boot from a Linux boot disk. If this work it would be a software problem and not a hardware problem.
