I am in a bit of a unique situation involving my mac, an external hard drive, and a samsung TV. My issue it this: I use an external harddrive to watch all of the various media (mostly anime and horror movies) on my samsung TV. I was using a 1TB drive, but it was getting full and I needed to upgrade. I purchased a 4TB WD_BLACK drive to use. The TV will not recognize anything larger than 1TB so I partitioned the drive into 4 seperate drives and labeled them individually. When connected to the TV, it reads correctly as 4 seperate drives, but instead of showing the name that I assigned, it is showing them as GAME DRIVE, GAME DRIVE (2), GAME DRIVE (3), GAME DRIVE (4), and GAME DRIVE (5).

I am not sure why there are 5 devices showing up and I would like to have the name that I assigned to each partition. Is there any solution to this issue?
