Re: Gparted will not label an existing FAT32 partition
/snip/
Gparted needs external software to enable some features.
According to <http://gparted.sourceforge.net/features.php>,
mtools is required to change the label on a FAT filesystem.
I wonder if there is a LIVE disk that includes the various
external software files? It would be handy to have such a disk.
If anyone knows of such, please advise.

YES there is. Goto http://gparted.org/download.php .
OK, Thanx. I have an older copy--I don't know if it has all the supplemental
files--so I just downloaded this one and I'll burn a copy. This program
is one
of the most useful programs that one should have in his arsenal! It is
perfectly clear as to what's going on, where, and I use it in prep for any
new install, rather than whatever is on the install disk, since it shows
everything on the drive, where it is, how big it is, etc., and allows you to
move and shrink things that may make the new install fit and work
better. (You can even shrink Windows with it!)
