Thanks for the help. I downloads Gparted did as requested. I can not get it to work I press label but am not able to change it. Either with usb active or turned off. I all appears to be quite simpl so I must be doing something wrong but can not see what it would be. Thanks for your help anyway.

No idea. It works on my computer on USB key and drive, both with FAT32 and ext4. Don't see potential error.
