When I first installed a new HD into this B&W, it took a custom icon. But then I found one I liked more and tried to replace the first one. since then, I have been stuck with the default icon. Anyone know why? What can I do to replace it?

I've had this problem before and the only way I found to fix it was just to try and change it over and over. Try selecting the "default" icon in the "Get Info" window and hit delete, then try pasting a new icon in.

Sometimes it took a restart to show the new icon.

All glory to the hypnotoad.
