The volume label is displayed as part of a directory listing, as well as the volume serial number, if one exists.
The Label command is invoked in the CMD processor. It has the following syntax:
LABEL [drive:][label]
LABEL [/MP] [volume] [label]
If LABEL is used without any parameters, you can interactively change or delete the existing label of the current drive.
Volume specifies a drive letter (with the colon), a mount point, or volume name.
NOTE: If you specify a volume name, the /MP switch is NOT required.
