HDD has CDROM settings?

The problem: In My Computer the C: drive has a bad icon, when I right-click on the C: drive it has an "autoplay" option, and if I double-click it it says "Please go to Control Panel and configure system componants."

I can view the contents of the C: drive by right-clicking the icon and selecting "Explore" or by simply running NT Explorer.

The C: icon used to be a DeerHunter icon, but I ran the Tweak UI icon correction program which deleted it. Not the icon is a blank page. Argh!

Gateway Solo 2300 (laptop) with 64MB RAM, WinNT 4.0, 2 GB HDD.

How it happened: A client went to a parent company in Georgia. They offered to install an ethernet card for him, screwed it up, and reinstalled Windows NT. It looks like they didn't format it. They just put created a NT40 directory and installed it there.

Have a look in the root directory in Windows Explorer for AUTORUN.INF & delete it.

That makes sense!

Looks like there is an autorun.inf... bye bye!

Rebooting...

THANKS! It worked. That was driving me nuts.
