I have WinXP as well. I was sure it was just a simple registry edit, but all the info I could Google didn't work. Finally, I downloaded Icon Packager from http://www.stardock.com/products/iconpackager/ to fix it. It's a 30 day free trial. Install and run it. Click on "Icons and Cursors"..."Drives"..."Individual Drive Mode". Find the drive you want to change, click it and then click "Change". It will open C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll and you can chose the icon you want there or choose another file with icons in it.
