wrong partition name in desktop

[anomalous_underdog]

I have a FAT32 partition mounted in /media/FILES. But in the desktop, as well as in Nautilus, its name appears as "phereData *"

I can't rename it in the right-click menu. How do I name it to FILES instead?

A very good method to have USB drives mounted with a name you choose is to label them. How this is done depends on the file system. You can find the howto in each of the following links

sorry if I failed to mention it before but, the hard drive in question isn't a usb removable. its my primary master hard drive and the partition is in hda5. it always gets labeled as "phereData *"
