How do you rename the Windows drive in Mac?

I have Windows loaded in BootCamp, but it appears in Mac as 'untitled'. How can I rename it to 'something_XP'?
Many thanks for any help. I am using Lion, highest updates, Bootcamp with Windows XP. The drive on the HD (shared in an iMac 24") is actually named, but the name in Mac is 'untitled'.

How do you get the Windows side on a Mac?

There is no Windows side on a Mac unless you install a version of Windows in a virtual machine or use Boot Camp to partition the drive and install Win 7 (if you are using a Macbook Pro that came with OS X Lion installed).
If you use a virtual machine you can install just about any version of Windows that you have a retail disc of and a legal license key to go with it.

Kappy Thanks for help.. I had already tried the Disk Utility but external drive did not show. What worked was to shut down every thing and shut off power to all. Disconnect power to the external drive. Connected power to computer and then restarted the computer. After the computer was up and running, I reconnected power to external drive and then turn it on. At this point the external drive returned to my desk top

HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE WINDOW SIZE OF EBUSINESS SUITE ON STARTUP

HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE WINDOW SIZE OF EBUSINESS SUITE ON STARTUP
How do you change the window size for Ebusiness Suite after you log in. Currently it displays at 100% of the screen. I want to set it smaller, at some %

I don't know if there is a way to set this. Some user's may prefer different sizes of window, depending on their job duties. For example, we have 170 Systems document management integrated with purchasing and payables so users shrink the Oracle window to fill about 60% of the screen while 170 uses the remaining 40% to display the scanned document.

How do you use the windows User32.dll Library functions to read variables from other applications that are running

I am trying to read a text box from a programme running at the same time as my Labview application using calls to the Windows
User32.dll. I believe I need to find the window handle for the 'form' containing this text string and use this together with
various other defined input variables to access the sting.
I have no experience of using this 'Call Library Function Node', but have an understanding of the 'C' programming language. Does anyone have
example Labview code showing how this might be done.
Thanks

If you're trying to access information that's being displayed in the window of another application and that application has no ActiveX interface, then yes, Windows calls can be used. There's a very good example on calling DLLs that ship with LabVIEW. Open the Example Finder (Help->Find Examples) and switch to the Search tab. Enter "Call" in the search box and open the VI "Call DLL". Run the VI, select any of the examples, and click the "Open Example VI..." button. That shows you how to call a DLL.
Now, given that you have no experience in calling DLLs, have only an "understanding" of C (which to me means you have never written something like a DLL), and don't seem to know that much about what Windows functions you may need, you're going to find this route pretty difficult, especially since you have to deal with Windows API calls, which are not always that easy to do from LabVIEW.
Let me propose an alternate solution. Go over to http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/ and download AutoIt. This is an automation tool that allows you to automate just about anything you want. It has an ActiveX interface that you can call from LabVIEW. I've attached an example VI that shows you how to use it to get the value of a text box from one of the tabs in the computer "System Properties" control panel applet.

You are getting a kernel panic because you are trying to boot the computer with a Tiger DVD. That model requires 10.6.3 - Snow Leopard. You can purchase replacement discs from Apple:

How do you override the WINDOWS key?

I'm writing or rather rewriting a game. I would like to override the windows key to do some function in the game without invoking the windows menu. Is this possible, and if so how?
Below is a sample bit of code I used to see what key codes, locations, and events were fired while pressing various keys. I made the key pressed/typed/released methods consume the events in an attempt to block the windows menu from coming up. I tried using a KeyEventDispatcher to catch all key events and consume them there, but it still displays the windows menu (on Windows 2000 at least).
I have searched the forums and the all mighty Google to no avail. Please help me if you can. Thank you.
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.KeyEventDispatcher;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;
import java.awt.event.WindowAdapter;
import java.awt.event.WindowEvent;
import javax.swing.FocusManager;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class Test extends JFrame implements KeyListener, KeyEventDispatcher
public Test()
    this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter()
      @Override
      public void windowClosing(WindowEvent windowEvent)
        System.exit(0); //close all windows and exit
    FocusManager.getCurrentManager().addKeyEventDispatcher(this);
    this.addKeyListener(this);
    this.pack();
public static void main(String[] arguments)
    Test frame;
    frame = new Test();
    frame.setTitle("Test Frame");
    frame.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200,200));
    frame.invalidate();
    frame.pack();
    frame.setVisible(true);
// this doesn't stop windows key from being processed whether true or false
// if it is true the keyPressed, keyTyped, and keyReleased don't get called
public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent keyEvent)
    System.out.println("dispatchKeyEvent " + keyEvent);
    return true;
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent keyEvent)
    System.out.println("keyPressed " + keyEvent);
    keyEvent.consume();
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent keyEvent)
    System.out.println("keyReleased " + keyEvent);
    keyEvent.consume();
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent keyEvent)
    System.out.println("keyTyped " + keyEvent);
    keyEvent.consume();
}

Thanks for the reply. That is basically all I wanted to confirm. I wanted to allow the player to redefine the windows key to some game specific command. I can do this for all of the other keys I was able to test except for that one.
If someone uses it on something other than windows they can redefine any key that maps to one of theirs. Since I don't have any alternate systems or keyboards to test on I won't bother making other keyboard configurations for the time being, if ever.

Help! How do you get the cd drive bay out of the Pismo?

I just bought a new LG CD-RW/DVD drive (hope it was a good choice), but I can't find any info on how to get the old one out and put the new one in.
There is lots of data on the four easy screws to remove for replacing the drive once it is out of the laptop, but no data on how to get to it while it is still under the keyboard and inside the Pismo?

Little Fish,
A properly working lever will have resistance as it pushes the whole drive mechanism out of the bay. It looks like the lever opens about 45º on my Wallstreet before it starts to eject, then reaches a full 90º with the drive protruding about 1/2 inch...you can then grab the drive and pull it on out.
If the drive feels like it is not going to move after applying moderate pressure, disconnect all power and cables (only so you do not damage them), turn the 'book so the drive bay hangs over the edge of a table. You can now get your fingernails under the back edge of the drive on the bottom and help pull it out while using the lever.

How do you minimize the window when the top of the page is above screen height in ubuntu 12.04, so I can't see the tabs, let alone using the normal minimize

Hi there, every now and then when i maximixe or minimize a window. The top of the window is above the screen so I am unable to see the tabs or anything above the address bar, is the a way to minimize using the menu, or a configuration file I can alter to stop it going above the top of the screen. It's a pain having to restart the system / firfox when you have a handfull of tabs open while researching and then having to remember which sites you had open to reopen them. thanks

Use the F11 key or move the mouse pointer to the top of the screen.
I am using Ubuntu 12.0.4 with various versions of Firefox installed, I think that works with them all.

How Do You Rename the Magic Mouse's Actual Name (Not the Display Name)

Hi. The Magic Mouse's display name is Servant777 but it's actual name is really something like mouse no. 1 which I take was from the store that first paired the mouse to test it ( I usually have it tested first after buying things, not all the time but sometimes, can't remember, it was 3 years ago).
How do you kind of "reset" the Magic Mouse like it's the first time it's being used and paired. I've tried: disconnecting and removing it from the bluetooth preference as well the on in the Mouse settings. It'd be nice if there's some kind of reset but it doesn't change the actual name, only the disply name could be changed. Is there any Terminal command for this?
Thank you in advance. Have a great upcoming sunday mass/great weekend.
God bless,
Alvin

HT4818 how do you install the windows 7 drivers for a mac os x 10.8.2?

I have this question because the instructions say you need to use the CD/DVD included in the box my macbook pro came in... but mine did not come with any CD... so where can I find it?

When you start Boot Camp Assistant one of the first menu items is to download the Windows Support software. Did you do this step?
The instructions you read and are referring to are for Snow Leopard and older computers that came with an operating system DVD.
You should also visit the Boot Camp forum where your question has been answered many times. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
