Where did my external HDD go?

Any idea why my WD External drive lost it's drive Icon? It seems to work fine but for some reason it no longer has the "WD-My Book" icon.

You could try to rebuild your icon cache
Icon Cache - Rebuild - Vista Forums

Well I wasn't able to figure that out but I didn't have much on there so I just reformatted it and all is good.

check out the autorun.inf on the root of the drive
there should be a line in there that says

icon=

with the location of the icon after the =
