10.4: Create a custom disk icon for Boot Camp disks
Authored by: rumbers on Feb 02, '08 12:37:47AM

Yep - I'm having the same problem. I format the flash drive to FAT, copy an icon to it using the info copy/paste route (so it looks as I want the windows drive to look on my desktop), open terminal, type cd /Volumes - and don't see any ._ files at all...

Macintosh-2:Volumes rumbers$ cd /Volumes
Macintosh-2:Volumes rumbers$ ls-la
total 56
drwxrwxrwt@ 6 root admin 204 2 Feb 08:05 .
drwxrwxrw-t@ 35 root admin 1258 27 Jan 10.36 ..
drwxrwxrwx @ 1 rumbers rumbers 16384 2 Feb 08:09 FATSTICK
drwxr-xr-x 3 rumbers admin 102 134 Jan 10.42 MAT'S 1GB
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 1 1 Feb 20:04 The MacBook Pro -> /
drwxr-xr-x 1 rumbers 8192 1 Feb 20:01 Windows


And that's it!

Tried doing the copy ._FATSTICK ._Windows, but there's no file there to copy. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
