A hard drive comes up with the icon of an SD card, strange, right?

[rul3s]

Hello everyone, how long has it been since I last came here!! <:(!!

You see, I don't know why, but for some time now, Windows has been showing me the icon of one of my hard drives, like it's an SD card. I've looked around various places, and I can't find a way to remove this strange thing.
I've searched through the hidden files of the disk, looking for something that might have saved some configuration, but nothing. Maybe someone can figure out why this is happening!

To be honest, apart from the visual aspect, there's nothing strange, but it bothers me and I can't find a way to remove it!!

Best regards and thanks

Check to see if the drive has an autorun in the root directory.

Thanks, I was told that I already checked it, from a live cd of linux I checked that everything was fine over there!!

Any other ideas?

I guess it will be the most absurd thing but… have you tried changing its icon? xD

Or changing its letter in the disk manager. Or disconnecting it and connecting it to another port...

Everything tried, a disk has no possibility to change the icon just like a folder, disconnect it, change the drive letter, but it's still the same damn thing!!

If there is no Autorun.inf file on that HDD, you can create it yourself and put the icon you want

[autorun] icon =.\\my_own_icon.ico 

Another possibility is that the Icon Cache got messed up by also having SSDs, and you can try to force it to reset by running "ie4uinit.exe -ClearIconCache" or by deleting the file "C:\\Users%userprofile%\\AppData\\Local\\IconCache.db", and a last option (at least in XP) is to go into the Registry and change the number that defines the icon of the Windows library that assigns to each drive.

Salu2!

I've tried the first 2 options, no results either! I'll try to look into this registry thing you mentioned.

Thanks!
