I tried to turning 32-bit addressing on, and the machine locked up almost immediately after the hard drive started spinning. I recall seeing that the drivers should be 'updated' for system 7.0 - could that be the problem? I'm using a Mac IIsi & a Liberty 80 meg hard drive. Also, the icon for the hard drive has turned into a 'document,' and for the life of me, I can't change it back! Any suggestions? John Feinberg SUNY Buffalo

Later I spotted the invisible ICON file in the directory and said in effect "well I don't like the Icon, I'll remove the file and it will revert to the default". Wrong. Generic icon. Any further attempt resulted in an error message like "The command can't be completed because I can't find it.". Helpful!!!! I rebuilt the desktop a couple times. No help. (Many unsuccessful things deleted) I created a folder. Pasted an Icon into it's Get Info, then using the same program (DiskTop) that I'd used to delete it, copied the invisible Icon file that was now inside the folder up to the directory of the disk. Reboot with desktop rebuild and I could now paste an Icon into the disk. My conclusions: Pasting an Icon into an object with no "substance" such as a disk drive or a folder creates an invisible file named "Icon" with no type or creator within the object. For a disk it's in the top level, not the Desktop, for a folder it's inside the folder. You cannot delete it to restore the previous mode.

Files and folder have a bit that indicates whether to use the custom icon. I would guess that volumes have a bit as well. To remove the custom icon you should just clear it from the Get Info window. -- Larry Rosenstein, Apple Computer, Inc. lsr@apple.com (or AppleLink: Rosenstein1)
