I believe that if you label the partitions, they will show up with the labels, just as USB sticks do. I also believe that you can use gparted to label the partitions. I do not believe that labelling the partitions will affect their behaviour under Windows. Just remember than any attempt to modify partitions can cause damage to your system. peter On 01/31/2016 07:40 AM, Ron Leach wrote: > List, good afternoon, > > I've just finished upgrading a dual-booting Fedora/Windows netbook from > F14/XFCE to F23.
