Hard drive label has been changed to magicjack

Post by [email protected] »

Hi i am looking for some help, i had 4 drives on my comp, 1 named boot, 1 data, 1 games and 1 external (these are how i had them labeled in "my computer"). Recently i went to use my computer and saw the boot drive had been renamed magicjack. I have tried renaming the drive everyway i can think of including using regedit but it still lists as magicjack. Can anyone tell me how to fix this.

p.s. i do not mean the cd-magicjack or phone drive labels this is my C:[/img]

ok i figured it out somehow while coping files over to use mj without the usb i copied autorun.ini or something like that from the mj folder to my root. :) at least i figured it out

Here's the way I fixed it on my machine (from a previous posting):

I found a cure for the renamed C: drive. Look for an autorun.inf that got dropped into your c:\ folder. Probably, there will also be a DO NOT USE THIS DRIVE empty file. These are the files that normally show up in one of the magicJack drives but at least in my case ended up getting dropped into the c:\ folder when the dongle-less version was being updated.

At any rate, either rename or delete the c:\autorun.inf and then either logout or reboot. In my case, when I logged out and logged back in (WinXP Pro SP2), it still had the MJ icon and the magicJack name but the autorun to start magicJack was gone. When I renamed the device "Local Drive" the icon automatically changed to look like it used to as a hard drive.
