I would like to change the hard disk icon that came with the driver. I tried using resedit but could not find it anywhere. I have a quantum 105 ext HD (powerdrive) and an internal 40Mb drive (apple 40SC). How do you do that? -- ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ** Kingson@uxh.cso.uiuc.edu ** ** or try kgg6822@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu ** ** University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign USA ** ** Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering ** ** Electromagnetic and Communication Laboratory ** //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

You cannot change the hard disk icon with ResEdit, and using a bit editor to find and change the icon directly on your hard disk is inviting data loss and destruction. There are two options: There is an init called Facade available as Shareware. You create or select an icon in ResEdit, add it to Facade and rename it so that the icon's resource name is the name of your hard drive. Reboot and viola your hard disk has a new icon. Drawbacks: if you change your hard disk name or if you want to change the icon, you have to go back and use ResEdit again, kinda messy. There is also an INIT/CDEV combo called IconMaster which allows you to assign a new icon to your hard drive. Simply drop it in your system folder, access it from Control Panel, select an icon or create your own with the editor and reboot. Drawbacks: you can only change your boot drive icon, while Facade can affect boot drive, any SCSI hard drive, remote volumes, even floppies ( I used to set untitled disks to display a big question mark to remind me to name them) Hope this helped, Chuck ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chuck Dubuque ||"It's one thing to think something that seems Dartmouth College || completely impossible.

(I think it's in the INITs...)

Another method to change the icon is to wait until you get System 7. In the Get Info box you can cut and paste the icons for almost any file. Just draw the new icon in a paint program, and paste it in. Gary Makin
