Hi all,
I'm having trouble getting the icon for my OS9 partition to change. Candybar won't change it...I can't copy and paste it manually through Get Info. I had no problems with any of my other icons. Does anyone have any clue what's going on?

i don't know what exactly causes it, but try logging out and back in or restarting.

Check permissions on that drive, make sure you have read/write access to it. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Won't hurt to try

Still nothing...but I discovered something new which may or may not have something to do with it. I have my hard drive partioned into three partions. A long time ago I changed all three icons with Get Info-copy, paste. Now CandyBar is acting like those are the default icons. I can go into Get Info and delete it, and it'll go back to the default OS X icon, but if I restore defaults inside CandyBar, it goes back to the changed icons. I deleted CandyBar and reinstalled it (did a Finder search for candybar and deleted everything that had to do with it), but it's doing the same thing. Any ideas?
