Sure looks like you can rename it in Drive Management properties what the
repercussions of a name error there ,, I don't know.
Properties Device Information tab shows the Model # of my cd
and that's what the drive name is,,, TEAC DV-28E-A here on the first
general tab of properties where I can change it.
maybe just delete it from device mgr and reboot.. would think Windows
should find and install new hardware.
