Hello,
(Please refer to my other post, as it was long and I don't want taking up
space in this reply.)
I had done what you said, I apologize if I did not explain that step. When
I ported the script over to the clone lab machine, I re-wrote the code to
match the volumes on that computer (see my code in my last post), and then
compiled it. Every time I change the name of the "Video HD" volume, it
renames the "Local HD" volume and leaves the "Video HD" partition alone.
Even if I change the "Local HD" name, and the "Video HD" name to some
gibberish, by order of execution of the code, it changes the "Local HD" back
to "Local HD", then changes "Local HD" to "Video HD" leaving the actual
"Video HD" alone to whatever gibberish I gave it.
If I change all my Volume names to gibberish, it does the same thing, it
changes the "Local HD" back to "Local HD", then changes "Local HD" to "Video
HD" leaving the actual "Video HD" alone to whatever gibberish I gave it,
then changes the "Documents" and "Admin" volumes back to what they are
supposed to be.
It is most Bizarre.
The same script set up on my computer with all its drives and partitions
(five total) works fine (when the script is compiled and modified to work on
my machine that is.)
Thanks,
