I divided my Kingston 64GB USB 3.0 DataTraveler into four parts. One section holds 43.6GB for regular USB use, while the others are sized appropriately for ISO images of Windows 7, 8, and 8.1. The issue arises when booting from BIOS—it displays all four partitions as roughly 59,000MB each. The main concern is how to rename these partitions in BIOS or if I should configure a GRUB Bootloader. It’s not something I’m familiar with, but I’d appreciate suggestions on where to find guidance, especially since my dual-boot setup requires BIOS interaction.

BIOS/UEFI doesn't allow assigning custom drive names. The label it displays is the manufacturer's name it retrieves.
