Click the drives title on the desktop, then click it again, start typing in the name, hit the return key when you are done.
-Or-
You can also open the info window for the drive and edit the name in the "Name & Extension" field half way down the window. Hit return when done.
Nope..it doesn't work. I can rename my macintosh HD..but not my "untitled" one.. is my partition hd locked or something? if so.. how do i unlock it so i can rename it.. cause it won't let me.

Ya if its formated in NTFS you will not be able to rename from Mac OS.

you can right after u partition in boot camp but thats the only time you can do it other wise it'll lock well atleast for me
Unless you buy something like this, which gives you full NTFS read and write support until OS X. I've found it enormously useful.
