I don't understand why you would use PartedMagic to do any of this.

Renaming files and folders (whether they are mount points or not) is very
easy.  Either from command line or file manager.

In fact, you could easily have just create /windows/D and unmounted the
partition mounted against /Windows/D and remounted it to /Windows/D.

Even easier if you edited /etc/fstab to do this.

No rebooting, no repartitioning.  It has nothing to do with partitions at
all.

What am I missing?
