There an ntfslabel command, just as there is a e2label
for ext partitions.  Hope this helps.

It may be that your SD will auto-mount as with removable
drives (zip drives) to /media, but what is missing is the HD
partitions.  All of my HD partitions are labelled.

Is there any help as to how to get back my /media
filesystems that are no longer auto-mounted?
