Hello i have two external Western Digital HDD's and neither of them have the correct HDD icon. How can i set it so that all my hardrives have the same icon?

Have a look for autorun.inf files in the root directory of each drive (possibly hidden). It's usually safe to delete these.

Yeah.. My Maxtor Onetouch had an 'autorun.inf. file and a crappy looking icon, both hidden!... when (somehow) the icon file got deleted the autorun messed up the default icon.. I just deleted it.. et voila.. the Default Windows Drive icon came back (on the next re-connect).
