man mkisofs

That would be a start.  But you want is to use -V.  manpage shows:

-V volid
   Specifies the volume ID (volume name or label) ...

There you go.  You'll need to find out what the volume label is via
Windows before you stick it in your Linux box.  There probably is a
way of obtaining that info from within Linux but I don't know it.
