Default Drive volume name exceeds 11 characters

I recently acquired Pro Tools SE, ver 8.0.3. I have Windows 7 OS. Installation went smoothly. When I tried to run Pro Tools, I get a message telling me there is a Drive Volume name greater than 11 characters. I have an external hard drive named "FreeAgent Drive". I'm worried if I change the name of that drive, I could somehow mess things up. Should I be worried?

I wouldn't worry. I've renamed many drives without issue. When renaming a drive remember that spaces count as a letters. So "Win7 64" would be 7 letters instead of 6.
