I can't rename my hard drive.

When I try and rename the hard drive of my iMac, I get the message: "name... cannot be used. "Try using a name with fewer characters, or no punctuation." I know I'm trying to change my name is in the right format - not too many characters or punctuation.

I'm running OS X 10.11.4 on a 21.5 "iMac Late 2009 (3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) with 8 GB of RAM.

Recently, I replaced the optical drive with an SSD, leaving the original 500 GB to 500 GB HARD drive. After you have installed the SSD, I used TechTool Pro 8 to clone the SSD HARD drive. I have now boot from SSD, and that is that I started to boot from the SSD I have this problem. If I boot from the HARD disk, which always has the operating system installed, I am able to change the name of the SSD, but not when booted from the SSD.

Thanks for any help!

I don't know why you may not be able to change the name, but it seems that you have a solution - just rename the SSD at the start of the HD.

You may want to try to start mode safe (from the SSD), and then restart normally and see that this clears the problem.
