The question was how to determine the name, not use it. ;-)

This techniques all seem overly complicated. Given a valid path to a
volume just use:
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] displayNameAtPath:@"/path/To/Drive"];
As for targeting the home directory: NSHomeDirectory()
This simple function will work in any place you need to start with ~/
and as stated, build your path and expandTildeInPath.

I'd responded with the expandtilde method from the NSUserHome
(names not exact, I know - I'm in a hurry. ;-) ) but he made a valid
point that the mount point is still "/Users/..." and not
/Drive/Users/... nor /Volumes/Drive/Users ...
His question is a bit more complicated and I admit I'm stumped!

Hi,
given a file "theFile"
NSString *theFile = @"/Volumes/MyDisk/MyFolder/MyFile";
NSString *diskName;
NSFileManager *manager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
you can get the volume name this way:
// this will give you an array of path components you can use
// to display the path to the user in the MacOS 9 style.
pathDisplayArray = [manager componentsToDisplayForPath:theFile];
// the first item of the array contains the disk name @"MyDisk"
// so take it from the array with the index = 0;
if(pathDisplayArray && [pathDisplayArray count] > 0){
diskName = [pathDisplayArray objectAtIndex:0];
}
// if theFile is on your boot disk like this
theFile = @"/MyBootDisk/MyFolder/MyFile";
// you will get diskName = @"MyBootDisk";
Best Regards

Greetings,
Does anyone know how I can get the name of a user's hard drive, or
the
hard drive partition on which their user account resides?
