My guess would be that the FAT volume has no label.  HAL and such seem
to use the volume label on hard disk volumes where possible.

You can change the volume label under Windows.  I'm not sure there's a
"native" way to change DOS volume labels on Linux.  You can use mlabel
from the mtools package (yum install mtools) but that requires you to
assign a drive letter (e.g. 'drive f: file="/dev/sda1"'
in /etc/mtools.conf)
