"Your Operating System Drive's Label is not OS_Install,
Please set it to OS_Install and try F3 later."

It wont load into main system and can only press

Based on that info, you could probably just put the hard drive in another computer and put the requested label on it.

Question, did you do a Windows restore, or (what I would refer to as) a factory restore, setting it to the way it was when you bought it?

So i should take out my hard drive and put it into a diff laptop and it should restore that way? and yes i tried a factory restore

Right click on your C: drive, choose propeties, then set the label as OS_Install

then try again

Did you change the name of the C drive before you restored it? Odd that factory reset wouldn't fix that.

When you did a factory restore, were you given an option to retain your existing data? I could see an option like that failing to reset the drive name.

And you would want to put it in something with a different boot drive, so that you would only be viewing this drive, so that you can change the name. So you would need a desktop, a laptop that can hold two hard drives, or an external enclosure that would work with either.

Why don't you tell the user how to do this since the drive will not load the OS.

I wouldn't hold your breath for an answer from berryracer. I don't think he read your post when he posted.

From the information provided, it is hard to tell how far your restore process got. Did you start it from boot, or from the OS? Did it say it was going to erase your data?

Try this, burn a copy of Parted Magic, then boot from that CD, then go to Partition Editor, and see if you can change the partition label without formatting the partition

PS: in the future please do not change the partition label
