Managing Windows Drive Labels

Label volumes in a Windows-based virtual machine to ensure that they are correctly mapped before you export the virtual machine.

Caution: Ensure that each volume has a unique identifiable label before running Sysprep (to prepare for an export). This process requires administrator privileges.

To set a label from the command prompt, type:

C:\>label C:c-drive

To list and verify all volume labels, use the diskpart utility:

C:\> diskpart
DISKPART> list volume
...
DISKPART> exit

After importing the virtual machine, use Disk Manager to reassign the drive letters. The labels you assigned before the export will help to identify the drives. For instructions, see:
