change name

[Michael Havens]

same thing:

 sudo e2label /dev/sdd1 Goodwill
e2label: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdd1
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.

could it be because it is a vfat file system? (while I love linux I like to
have the ability for my flash drives to be used on common computers)
