Sorry if I am missing something here but; I have just read thru alll these posts: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=Se...e+hardware+icon and am still confused. I see a summary by Ripken 204 but then a bunch more posts that dispuite methods etc. I am a newbie and hence am not all that confident in just tryiong all these things. Is there a new concise, eplanation of each method to date with consequences etc.? I just built my 1st system and the my SATA2 HDD is responsible for the icon. Again, sorry if I'm out of line posting.
