That's one of the options that it gives you when your computer first recognizes the drive. I don't think you can change it now, unless you reformat and reinstall any drivers it takes to run the hard drive.

You can rename the drive itself. (by right clicking on it under "my computer"). I think that will give you the ability of naming something else L:
