I installed a second hard drive in my son's computer,
which runs Windows XP Home (OEM). After installation
(sucessful), I noticed that the icon font and font color
(blue) is different than the C: drive icon font (black).
I want to change the font and font color (blue) to match
the C: drive font and font color (black). Anyone know how
to do accomplish this task? All help with this will be
appreciated greatly.

You have apparently compressed the drive as the blue font color is
indicative of this. To uncompress the drive:
Double Click on My Computer. Right click on the drive letter (probably D).
Left click on properties. At the bottom of the properties window uncheck
Compress drive to save disk space then Click either OK or Apply. If you
click Apply the drive will be uncompressed but you will have to click OK to
later close the window. Answer OK to any pop-up messages you receive about
subdirectories, etc.

Thank you for the information. I check it and the drive
is compressed and it is being uncompressed as we speak.
Again, thank you for the help.
