Renaming Optical drives

I just installed a new DVD-RW drive, and it got set to drive E:/ , which is fine for me, but before the DVD RW was installed drive E was one of the drives on my multicard reader, all the reader drives got moved up a letter, so everything is fine that way.

But, the dvd rw drive has kept the name from the multicard reader drive, so the DVD-RW drive is called "SD/MMC" , and i dont know how to rename it, i'd like to change the icon for it aswell.

I'm newish to XP so i'm not sure about what to do :s

All help appreciated

I did some drive letter swapping till the E drive was a card reader (so i could rename it) , renamed it to DVD RW, then swapped everything back, worked
