Then create a file called: autorun.inf in the root directory c:\autorun.inf.
Simply Right click->New->Text Document. Rename it to autorun.inf (.inf is Extension)
Next open that file and type the following:

[autorun]
icon=drivea.ico

Save and close the file.

Now open my computer and refresh.. and woh! icon changed....
you can apply to other drives too.

Note:
"autorun.inf" and "ico.ico" must be in the root of the drive.
example: c:\autorun.inf and c:\drivea.ico.
same on the root.
