My Macintosh drive names don't look right in Windows.
- Your Macintosh drives should appear in Windows Explorer as "<VolumeName> on <ComputerName>."
Only the first seven characters of your Macintosh volume
names will appear, and only the first fifteen characters of your Macintosh
computer name will appear.
- If you have a volume name that uses extended
characters such as accented Roman characters or Japanese characters, or if two or more volume
names share the same first seven characters, your drives will appear as Drive-1,
Drive-2, Drive-3, and so forth.
