ZIP drive shows up as floppy

[Gort]

I added a ZIP drive to my PC and when I look at My Computer it shows it as a floppy drive.

It works fine, so the PC must know it's really a ZIP drive, but the icon and identification on teh desktop show it's a floppy drive.

How can I fix this?

Does the discription say 3 1/2 inch floppy or does the icon just look like that? If it just looks like that and works fine its because Windows uses a default icon for removable media such as Floppies and Zip disks. James Collins

Yours is not the first to be set up like that. Don't waste time trying to change it. Ed Fair

It actually says 3 1/2 floppy. It's just a pain to have it since everything works. I've changed the name and ICON, so I guess that's good enough.

When I downloaded and installed IomegaWare, I got the pretty lil Zip icons, if that's what you're after.
