My macbook drop on the floor, low height.
Now unable to boot, power on, blank screen, but front LED white is blinking.
If need repair, how much is the cost?

Asked plenty of times before. To cut the story short, it's perfectly fine, just use it.

Do a reinstallation, recreate the partitions yourself using Disk Utility when you boot up using the installation disc (it's under Utilities>Disk Utility). You can then rename your partitions however you like at the same time. No you don't need to create a new partition. However, if you are thinking of using Boot Camp, you can install Windows using Boot Camp (and a separate partition), and use it together with Parallels.

Rename it after you boot into OS X. It's the same as renaming any other item, select press enter.

I said AFTER you boot into OS X, you can't rename in Disk Utility like I previously said, that's why in the latest reply, I said, AFTER you boot into OS X.

Like I said, you CAN'T name it in Disk Utility regardless of whether you're booted up using the Installation Disc or in OS X.

In OS X, just rename it as with how you name other files, select the item in Finder, press Enter and rename. As for NTFS partitions, I believe you'll need to reboot into Windows in order to rename it.

xllms,

1) log into MAC OS X
2) you should be able to see the partition on your desktop.
3) SINGLE click on the partition icon(hard disk icon)
4) press ENTER on your keyboard to rename
5) type in desired name
6) hit ENTER again.
