I didn't mean to insult you, Igor, but the name shown (if there is one)
by Windows Explorer is not necessarily a volume name. For example, if I
look at Windows Explorer for my main drive it lays "Local Disk (C:),
which might infer that it's the volume name. However if I run "vol C:"
from the command line it returns "Volume in drive C has no label" since
I have not assigned a label to it. i.e. Drive C: has no volume name.

I know what the volume name is for a drive is.
My question was about LR. At least LR 3.4 does not care for the volume
name. My hdd had that from the beginning, but LR happily used the
drive letter (such as F:, G:) instead, - during the "import file"
procedure, and then those folders were linked to a specific letter.

The volume command (vol [drive:]) will display the volume name. Use the

I'm not a Windows user, but that page seems to give the basic info
required.
A volume label is a higher level file system construct than a drive
letter and persists even if the drive letter changes. Once you set
volume labels for your system, start LR. It will pick them up and
display them in the Folders panel. Once a volume label is in use, LR
uses that instead of a drive letter because file system calls to a
volume label are translated by the OS to the underlying current
hardware letter identifier.

Godfrey,
How would I do that on Windows?
Once I import the photos from the HDD, LR (at least up to ver. 3.4)
sets that the photos are on a particular HDD, with a specific drive
letter.
I was not able to find how I can disentangle from that.

If you set a drive label (volume name for OS X users, but volume
names/labels are only optional on Windows), Lr will use and prefer
that,
all the confusion of changing drive letters will disappear.
