The "graphic" portion of my external hard drive icon has disappeared. I don't know where it went or why it's been lost, but it's no longer there. Any thoughts on where to find it or how to restore it. As I said, not a terribly important issue, just curious.
Do you mean its now showing the default drive logo instead of the branded icon, or no icon at all.
If you meant the first, make sure the autorun.inf still exist in the main directory.
then open the autorun.inf in notepad and it should list where the icon is stored.
eg:
[autorun]
ICON=AUTORUN\WDLOGO.ICO
Which means the logo should be in (your drive letter mine is H:) H:\Autorun\wdglogo.ico
If it just says ICON=LOGO.ICO it shold be in the root directory.
Everything you said, fireryone, was spot on -- problem fixed. Thanks so much for the help!!!
