You could play with the Win32 API call SetVolumeLabel(); in VFP it would be used as follows:

DECLARE INTEGER SetVolumeLabel IN KERNEL32.DLL ;
   STRING @ lpRootPathName, ;
   STRING @ lpVolumeName

IF SetVolumeLabel('A:\'+CHR(0),'MyLabel'+CHR(0)) = 1
   *  it worked
ELSE
   *  it didn't
ENDIF

Volume labels are case-insensitive; you need to specify the root path of the drive whose volume you're setting.
