Just for looks...

on my Desktop Computer I have two Harddrives, one of them is totally used for Ubuntu Linux. The second HD is partially used for Windows XP, and I use the rest of it (with an ext3 filesystem) for Linux too. When mounted it appears on the desktop as "62.4 GB Media" and I wonder if I could change this name?

Thanks SalahTr for the link...
I was not successful though, because I couldn't find the the "Label" button as it is described in the guide...
it looks this only works for USB drives but not for my hard drives, am I right?
I attached several screenshot showing what I did so far

Open a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal)
and run:

sudo e2label /dev/sdb5 label

to change the label of the ext3 partition. Replace label with the actual label.

to change the label of an NTFS partition:

sudo ntfslabel /dev/sdXY label

replace /dev/sdXY with the device name listed in gparted.

OK...Labeling worked fine, I labeled sdb5 as LinuxPart.
But sorry, this is not what I wanted and I apologize for being not specific enough in the first place.
I want to change the name of this partition as it shows under
--->Main Menu --->Places...see attached screenshots.
Thanks, sisco311, for the help...

Did you try to log out and log back in and/or remount the partitions. If the partitions is labeled the label of the partition should be displayed.
