I cant rename a local drive in my windows 8.1 professional computer.when i try to rename a local drive and giving a name, its accepting but its still showing "local disk".I tried two three times and its showing "local disk" always.The drive letter is "E".

But in computer management its showing name of the drive which i gave for drive letter E.Whats the problem?

I have windows 8.1 professional, Intel core i-5 processor, 8 gb ram,64 bit operating system

Where did you change the name for it?

This pc->right click drive and rename

Hi idhata.

Have you already tried a reboot?

1. Some programs make references to specific drive letters. If you change a drive letter, these programs might not work correctly
   you can do clean boot, and close all open aplication, and try to rename it again, but some programs might not work correctly
2. You can't change a drive letter if the drive is either a system partition or a boot partition, maybe there is OS installation there
3. If you connect to domain, maybe your system administrator blocked it, contact your system administrator
