Dan, I got the answer at Major Geeks. It was very simple.

"Disks" away, baby.

If cryptodan's posts don't answer your question, could you clarify :
show where the OSs are located on a HDD.
Because for Linux, there are more than one directory, if this is what you want to know.
Yes, Dominique, one could likely find them via files, however, dat is a very
slow process.

Not only can user assign the OS with "Disk", but also assign the name to a partition
with Geeparted.
Thus, there are two software options which can be utilized to label where the OSs
are located.

You're method is only for single partitioned systems with just the root used.

If assigning a disk label works for you, great! 
Because other linux users like to fill up their drive with multiple distros and having grub deal with the details.

Not the case, Dan. One HDD has three and the other four partitions.

Tanks, Dominique !

So why didn't the following work
sudo parted -l
That command has been around since ubuntu 14.04
So I'm questioning your linux/command line knowledge because you failed to show the output as requested which works on uefi and legacy bios systems.
That command would have been very very very and I emphasize the very part helpful in helping you.
Also that command is on various distros.

cat /etc/fstab
lsblk -f
cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg
or as Dan stated,
parted -l
If the information received from these commands does not help you at all then you are
a.) running forensics on a system that is not yours
b.) payed no attention to what you were doing when you installed multiple Operating Systems.
In any case, if you are using grub and the grub.cfg is not giving you any information, you will have to manually dig through your drives anyways.
