I clicked on the my computer icon yesterday and noticed that the icon for one of my hard drives had changed to a different icon. It is the one that is like a piece of paper with the corner folded slightly and has another picture of a screen or whatever. It is the one you get when your computer doesn't know how to read it. It still opens fine but how do I change it to its original icon? I have xp pro.

this is a BIOS v. OS issue. check BIOS settings first.

Actually, I had to go into the hd and find an autostart file. I had to delete it and presto it worked.
