Command: label

  LABEL creates, changes or deletes the volume label of a disk.

Syntax:

  LABEL  [drive:][label] [/?]
    drive:  Specifies which drive you want to assign a label, e.g. C:
            If missing, the current drive is assumed.

Options:

  label  Specifies the new LABEL you want to label the drive.
         If missing, LABEL prompts you for it.
  /?     Shows the help.

Comments:

  The LABEL (name) of the partition can be up to 11 letters long.
  Network drives and a drive which has been ASSIGNED, JOINed or
  SUBSTed or SWSUBSTed can not be labeled.
  The latest version of LABEL (ver 1.5) supports NLS (national language
  support).

Examples:

  label C:
  label C: PARTITION-C
  label D: my_files
  dir c:                (shows: PARTITION-C)
  dir d:                (shows: MY_FILES)
  vol c: (d:)           (same as dir)
