Best Answer

By "boot label", I presume you mean it's name as it appears in the boot menu. You can change this by editing the boot menu in question.

For GRUB:

The GRUB menu can be found in /boot/grub/menu.list

For LILO:

The LILO menu can be found in either /boot/lilo/lilo.conf or /etc/lilo.conf

For SYSLINUX:

The SYSLINUX menu can be found in either /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg /syslinux/syslinux.cfg /boot/syslinux.cfg or in the root directory.

For NTLDR (the Windows bootloader):

The NTLDR menu can be found in the boot.ini file of your C:\ drive

Can you use a Windows boot loader to load the Linux operating system?

Yes you can. Ubuntu's WUBI uses the Windows bootloader (NTLDR) to boot Linux. It also uses the Windows filesystem (NTFS). This, however, is not the traditional way to do things. The traditional way to dual-boot Linux and Windows is to use a generic bootloader such as Grub to boot both Windows and Linux.
