you guys heard the rumor that mac's run better when they're hard drives are named "macintosh hd" right? lol jk :p
 
i named it "Festplatte" (german for "Harddisk") going against own naming conventions for partitions: "system" "musik" "daten" "programme" etc. ...

was actually place holder for a better fitting name. but i'm going to replace it as soon as i buy an external hard disk ;)
 
gosh, I feel so unoriginal... mine are iBook HD, External HD, and well... iPod. Hopefully that first one will turn into Powerbook HD once school starts so I can be utterly unoriginal on a higher level lol
 
Not terribly original, but I know where I am....

Main HD in Mac Mini: "Devito" (cuz he's short)
Ipod 20GB: "Mr. iPod"
Minimate 80GB FW: "Dundee"
 
"Macintosh HD"! I haven't actually thought about changing it until now. Don't know why, since I like to customize everything.

My Windows drives are called:

Chaos (C:)
Daemon (D:)

With them, I mostly just tried to come up with a name that start with the same letter as the drive.

Hmm.. need to come up with a theme I can use for my Mac drive(s).
 
Mine is still "Macintosh HD", and I doubt that I will change it. Although I guess I could name it 'Hobbes'.

I hide my hard drive as well... as well as my dock... I like a clean desktop... :p

My ipod = Willard

My Shuffle = Willard


Hmm... Perhaps I should change my shuffle to Willard Jr.... but that makes me think that it's my son... :eek:

Edit: And I don't have a son, and am at too young of an age to want to begin thinking of having a child....
 
Solaris-Lunae...
after sun and moon, but normally, the PB's nickname between me and my friend is Eric [after my bestfriend and the Phantom in the phantom of the opera ;) ] since solaris-lunae is just too long

Out of curiosity, how do you change the icons for the hd and stuff?

Mine's name is Xavier.
Hi. Find an icon off the net, or even a jpg, click on it, press Apple + I to get info, click on the thumbnail, press Apple + C to copy it, click on your HD icon, click Apple + I, click on the thumbnail, press Apple + V to paste the other one in. Voilà!
