How can I change hard drive icon images?

I have a strange problem that has just occurred in Windows 7.

I have several hard drives internal and 1 external hard drive.  The external hard drive has always had its own unique icon and internal hard drives all have the same icon image.

But somehow, the external drive now has an image of the icon of an internal hard drive, and my biggest drive, a HD 1.5 TB, shows the icon used previously by the external hard drive.

I can't understand why this happened, or how to redefine the way it was.  Don't pose any problem of performance, its just confusing because I saw this image external drive so long I'll automatically for the picture if my computer or Explorer and now that means that I often select the wrong drive.

I click on properties > customize and select change image folder, then select a hard drive icon I want for each player, but he never changes the icon.  And I'm pointing to an appropriate *.ico icon image file.

Anyone has any ideas on this issue?

Thank you.

Move the Autorun.inf file and the Mxoicon6.ico file on your external hard drive, and restart the computer. Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience

    No you haven't, how it was labeled in the old pc is irrelevant, just install you it as slave on your PC drive, depends on the question of if you need to change the jumper on the drive.

  • How can I change the drive letter assigned to the partition of 'winretools' on a laptop Win 8?

    I'm just going through the process to customize a new Inspiron 14z with Windows 8. The only thing that left me speechless are all provided partitions installed on drive, thanks to a combination of everything be different on Win8, Dell make their own way and GPT formatting.  Generally, I would like to know what the devil all these partitions are for, but it is fine if it will be a slow learning process.  More precisely and immediately, I need to change the drive letter assigned to the partition of 'WINRETOOLS '.  Currently it is D:, and the problem is that 10 years from now, I'm using as my data partition D: and a number of applications, configurations, settings, etc. assume that all my files are on D:.  For example, by having all my music on D:, I can sync iTunes library and preference between machines and all results files and playlists is from a machine to another.  Same thing for my photos.  Same for a bunch of utilities like FTP consoles, sync utilities...

    In an earlier version of Windows, I would just go into management drives, right click on the partition in question, assign a different drive letter and work done.  On my machine, the WINRETOOL 2 GB partition shows not even as having a drive letter in disk management, despite the fact that it is D: in Win Explorer.  In addition, only the right click option is 'help '.  I took this option, and, despite its aspirations, it is not useful.

    How can I change this drive letter to something else?  WINRETOOLS should even have a drive letter in Explorer (some messages that I've seen indicates that it must be hidden)?  If I change the drive letter, which will break its function, whatever it is?

    ....

    My machine has a 500 GB of rotating disk that has all of the above partitions.  I shrunk the 80 GB C: partition, to create a data partition.  I've not yet formatted the unallocated space I want to solve this WINRETOOLS thing first.  Finally, there is a 32 GB of SSD that I put in place as a cache of the Intel Smart Response, and it is no longer visible to the operating system.

    At the command prompt, type the following and press "enter":

    mountvol D:\/d

    Close the command prompt.

    Drive D: letter should now be available and not used.

    Here's some info about Mountvol, it's very powerful to be safe to use it:

  • How can I change the driver for my processor?

    CPU driver

    Hello, I tried to run this game called 'minecraft' but I never load...

    to cut to the Chase, I need the driver of Intel P4/NetBurst Architecture processor or equivalent AMD (AMD K7)
    I have AMD Sempron (TM) TR-42...
    How can I change my driver? Help, please

    First of all, check that you have the latest BIOS for your system. All pilots must be installed automatically for Windows Update.

    The AMD Sempron (TM) TR-42 is an old, low powered CPU and the message you see is probably because Sempron SI - 42 http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K8/AMD-Mobile%20Sempron%20SI-42%20-%20SMSI42SAM12GG.html isn't a sufficient processor to run Minecraft.

    How can I change the type of image file to download on a site like walmart or walgreens for printing?

    In general, they will accept the image in the format, that it was taken (if it was taken by the majority of cameras or cell phones).  But if so, you have a few options.

    The most simple and integrated solution is Microsoft Paint.  Yes it is from the 1980s, but it still works and changes of a good job for a time.  Just to right click on the photo file, choose open with and choose paint.  Then go to file > save as and save this return as the file type you want it to be (like PNG or BMP or JPG, quality declining in the JPG option).

    If you need more options like changing the quality he uses during conversion, another free option (of the very very many) is Paint.NET, an open source free image editing program. http://www.dotPDN.com/downloads/PDN.html

    There are also programs that can do it in bulk, so you can highlight 300 photos and do convert them all at once.  You can do this for free or with tools like Photoshop.

    I have an alarm to warn me when the host is rebooted and powered. The icon\image displayed in the view of data on the host computer center is red. How can I display a green icon since the machine is running normal and high?

    It depends on the case that alarm reflects a condition or an event. The event can be reversed when you right-click on the alarm and choose to make it green. If it's a condition, you can accept the alarm, but still should be on the alarm panel to disappear.
