Hello,
I partitioned my hard drive on Linux (Ubuntu) to store my music, my anime, etc...
I would like to rename my two hard drives to something like (music, video), but when I try to rename them in the file manager, I get an error message saying I can't rename it: "unable to rename the item" :/
What should I do?
Thank you.

Whoa, there are a lot of partitions in there oO
You're going to have to help me out; can you give me an overview of the drives and partitions you have on your PC?
(Number of drives, how many partitions on each drive, sizes of the partitions, what file formats for each partition) and let me know which ones you want to rename in all of that.
Otherwise, did you notice that you have 2 swap type partitions? Is that intentional?

Hi,
I think you would rather want to change the label
take a look here http://www.commentcamarche.net/faq/sujet 8487 modify the label name of partitions

Hi,
you need to change the mounting points of your disks
-> copy/paste the content of the file /etc/fstab.

What exactly do you want to do? They are usually called "hdXY" or "sdXY", h for IDE, s for SATA, X for the device number and Y for the partition number. You can’t get around that.
However, for units other than those mounted on "/" and "/home", nothing prevents you from mounting them in folders on the desktop, for example.
Post the result of the command "cat /etc/fstab" so we can know a bit more about your current configuration.

the file is called fstab and is located in the /etc folder.
through the file explorer, you need to go to "file system" (/) and then etc.
otherwise, as suggested by grunt, you can type directly in a console "cat /etc/fstab"

You open a terminal, not necessarily as root, and you type "cat /etc/fstab" and then hit "Enter"
You will definitely get the content of the /etc/fstab file, so we will know how many disks you have, how many partitions are mounted, and where they are mounted.

Here it is:

Strange fstab in Ubuntu, with their UUIDs, anyway..
Right now I only see two partitions, one of which is swap. I couldn't tell you, especially if you say you created multiple partitions..
I'll leave it to the Ubuntu experts ^^

UUIDs can be replaced by /dev/... that's not a problem, but I do find it hard to see which partitions you want to rename; in your fstab there are only 2, the / and the swap, and they don't get renamed.
If these are the only two partitions you created during the installation, it's a lost cause. If you create others, then it's very strange that they don't appear in the fstab.
Can you give me the output of the following command:
sudo fdisk -l
