Umm - not sure about this since we're talking about the Home edition, but can one take 'Ownership' of a drive via the permission settings? This is what I'd recommend at this point if you were running Pro, but I gave up on the 'dumbed' down Home version long ago and can't remember if it allows that level of control. Perhaps Carl, or someone else on this list who has more experience w/ XP Home can, confirm that. If you can take 'ownership', then do so and then give yourself full control over the drive.

Yes for both. In fact I can rename my floppy drive and the name remains changed even after I've taken the floppy disk out.
