Godfrey, Thank you for trying to help. However, it looks like LR on Windows does not use the volume label. Rather, it relies on the drive letter. See e.g. this thread: http://www.lightroomforums.net/archive/index.php/t-20196.html
Igor Fri Nov 8 15:17:33 EST 2013 Godfrey DiGiorgi I don't know what the issue with your system is, and I'm not a Windows user so I have no way to find out. But LR has been using volume labels in preference to drive letters since v2 at least. So something is screwed up in how your system is configured, or was configured.
