I solved my issue by starting up using a thumb drive, going into Terminal and renaming everything there.

I'll spare the details, but I'm having a hard time getting my Hackintosh back to working order after my main HD started to fail (I think).
I have a 128 GB Samsung SSD drive containing my operating system, a 4 TB Seagate Barracuda drive name 4TB Seagate that contains my user folder and all of my files, which I'd made from a manual backup, and a 3 TB Western Digital Green drive named Time Machine that has, you guessed it, my Time Machine Backups.
I've managed to reinstall Mavericks with a new admin user. (In fact, I'm writing from it now.) But I have been unable to rename the 4TB Seagate, either through Terminal or the Finder.
When I attempt to rename the volume in Terminal, I get the message:
When I attempt to rename it from the Finder, I get the error message
And it doesn't matter what I try to rename it, either, although I'd like to rename it to My Documents, since that's what the now failed volume was named.
Here is the disk info:
I'm thinking the issue is an ownership issue, although I am using an account with administrator privileges. I've tried enabling Ignore ownership on this volume, I changed the read & write settings on the drive to admin (Me), I've verified and repaired permissions on the boot volume until I'm exhausted, but nothing seems to work.
If I could just rename this volume and the files and folders beneath it, I'm certain I can get back in business. Can anyone provide assistance?
