Changing Windows disk label shown in Bootpicker

1. Generating disk label files

  • Download the latest OpenCore Package and unzip it
  • Inside the OpenCore folder you will find /Utilities/disklabel
  • Run Terminal
  • Enter cd and hit Space
  • Drag the "disklabel" folder into the terminal window and hit Enter to change to this directory.
  • Next, enter the following command (replace the text in the quotes "" ):
     sudo ./disklabel -e "YOUR DISK LABEL" .disk_label .disk_label_2x
  • Hit Enter again

The disk label files will be stored in the "disklabel" folder but they are hidden.

2. Moving the files to the correct location

  • In Finder, press CMDShift. to reveal hidden files:
    disklabel01
  • Copy .disk_label and .disk_label_x2
  • Mount the EFI containing the "Microsoft" Folder
  • Paste/Move the disk label files into the Microsoft/Boot folder. It should look like this:
  • Press CMDShift. again to mask the hidden files.

The disk labels are now in the correct location but to be displayed, the PickerAttributes have to be adjusted…

3. Adjusting PickerAttributes

  • Open your config.plist with OCAT
  • Go to Misc/PickerAttributes and click on "Select" (or just add 2 to the current value)
  • Check box "OC_ATTR_USE_DISK_LABEL_FILE":
    label05
  • Save the config and reboot
  • The new disk label should be applied:
    label06
