I'll remove it.

I don't think I've placed a label on an external device after the
fact. What is the procedure? And does it have any harmful effects on
data on the device?

This drive has someone's complete audio collection on it and they
would prefer to not loose it. :-)

How to do it depends on the file system. For 2e/e3 file systems,
e2label will add a label without affecting the file system. For
(V)FAT file systems, I have not found a good way to add a label
under Linux. You can add one under windows without any problems.

It's VFAT. I'll have to wait till I get back to the machine tonight and connect it to my one lone Windoze box.

Thank you Mikkel. I'll report on the results.
