Thank You,
When I did this my HD disk drive info changed like it was before, but when I wanted to boot leopard.. As it was booting it restarted and then on my second attempt to boot it, I get a Kernel Panic. On the bright side, I can view my HD files through MAC drive, so if I need to reinstall leo4all v3 I can.
sorry for that!
I was gonna erase it after I got an answer... But I guess I am going to reinstall leo4all.

I presume you mean the HD disk drive information and not the volume name. It's possible that I had something similar, turn off the computer, disconnect the harddrive, go in the BIOS and save settings without the HD connected. Now turn the computer off again, connect the HD and enter athe BIOS and save it again. That should work.
But: OS X doesn't care much about the BIOS. I had a DVD-Burner which wasn't detected in BIOS, but MacOS found it and I could even burn with it.
