update to reply/request

hi dave,

i selected "OWC Mercury Elite" on the desktop and renamed it, "Macintosh HD", rebooted holding shift down, and, after login, my desktop came up with the new name for the external hard drive but then my powerbook, also named, "Macintosh HD" would not show up in the finder window, though is was visible on the desktop. i then launched SuperDuper, and for the source drive selected, formerly named, "OWC Mercury Elite", now named, "Macintosh HD", and the destination drive in the drop down list showed my powerbooks hard drive renamed to, "Macintosh HD 1". in other words, there seems to be a problem having two hard drives with the same name.

what would happen if i just backed up all the files from "OWC.." hard drive to the powerbook hard drive named, "Macintosh HD"? I have since gone back and renamed the external hard drive, "OWC Mercury Elite".

thanks in advance,

tom robison
