10.4: Create a custom disk icon for Boot Camp disks
Authored by: transeau on Nov 15, '06 08:24:27AM

you need to rename your ._WINXP file to match the name of the drive...
i.e. if you name the drive (in Windows) "Windows XP" then the file in /Volumes/ needs to be "._Windows\ XP".

Also, you need to make sure that the icon on the NTFS drive is a Hidden, System file. (attrib +s +h .VolumeIcon.icns)

I noted the first requirement in the hint; I'll set those attributes and see if anything changes - thanks for the tip.

Nope, still no go. My boot loader insists on using a stock aluminum drive icon. Durn.
