Bootcamp Icons

I've tried this a few ways, none seem to work properly.

I want to have custom icons on my bootloader, but I am not getting it. I have my Win partition Fat32 and on my desktop I changed the icon for both my Mac and Win HDDs using the "Get Info" method. When I run my bootloader I see my Mac custom icon but the Windows drive still is that HDD logo.

Any ideas?

DeltaMac will become famous soon enough
If you want different Windows icons, you would need to do that with Windows icons, booted from Windows.

Nah, that doesn't work, since in Windows, you don't give volumes icons, you'd set the icon for the "device" instead, but the bootloader would still see the _volume_. I guess they don't _want_ us to change those icons yet.

I've seen websites where people tell how to change it but they do what I did. I dunno if my system just doesn't like it or their just wrong or something. Oh well. I hardly use it much.

This doesn't help. Am I missing something?
