    (13.04) Renaming mounted partitions, deleting unwanted HP_TOOLS

    Hey!
    I have windows 8 installed on c:\ , Ubuntu 13.04 on another partition and h:\ as file storage.
    So here's the problem: during the installation, I mounted two partitions ( c:\ to /media/c/ and h:\ to /media/h/ ) and now it looks like this:
    screen01.jpg
    but when I'm using
    Code:
    gksu nautilus
    , it looks this way:
    screen03.jpg


    I'd like to have "plain" nautilus with drives named "c" and "h", not "new volume" and "322 gb drive" although without losing all them places links!
    Any ideas?

    /EDIT:
    Done with the Labeling, now trying to resolve the HP_TOOLS mounting!
    Changed pics to thumbnails (?)

    How about labeling the volumes? You could call them WINROOT AND WINDATA for example.
    Run gparted, right click on the volume and select LABEL.
    If the options are greyed out you may need to unmount them first.

    I suggest that you use labels.

    You can give suitable labels or human readable names to your partitions, for example

    Ubuntu
    Home
    Windows
    Data

    There are several tools to add or edit labels. gparted is a suitable tool. See more details at this link

    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive

    When you have labels, the automount in the file browser will use the labels. This is the case in Ubuntu as well as in Windows and it will be easy to identify the partitions.

    Thanks!
    Label worked perfectly fine (though, had to unmount them first, as it'd been mentioned).
    But for now , the new question :
    is there the way to let HP_TOOLS partition "disappear" from Nautilus (without deleting the partition itself, cause it's being used by my laptop)?

    add the noauto command to the line for the HP_TOOLS partition in /etc/fstab. More information here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/16570...tions-deivices

    Just give them volume labels and/or edit "/etc/fstab" to look like UUID=xxxxxx /media/Drive-C or NTFS-drive-H or whatever you prefer. HP_TOOLS will not auto-mount unless you add it to fstab.

    WELL, finally [SOLVED]!
    Actually the /etc/fstab method didn't work because there WASN'T an entry for this HP_TOOLS partition (there were mentioned above partitions C, H, swap and ext4). So I unmounted HP_TOOLS using
    Code:
    gksu nautilus
    and then just GParted -> Right click on the volume -> Manage flags (there was "lba" checked) -> checked "Hidden". Then this unwanted HP_TOOLS guy immediately disappeared from my nautilus devices!

    Thank you very much for helpful income!
