There is no GetVolumeLabel() function.  Please always copy/paste your actual
source code, do not re-type it by hand.

Now then, with that said, you didn't initialize your 'vlabellength' variable
before passing it in to the function.  You need to do that, otherwise the
value will be initialized with a random value from the memory it occupies,
and you will end up with undefined results.  That variable tells the
function how large your buffer is.  If it gets initialized with a random
value, then the function will think your buffer is a different size then it
really is.

    char vlabel[32] = {0};
    unsigned int vlabellength = 32;
    GetVolumeInformation("D:\\", vlabel, vlabellength, NULL, NULL, NULL,
NULL, 0);

Or simply:

    char vlabel[32] = {0};
    GetVolumeInformation("D:\\", vlabel, 32, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, 0);
