It doesnt seem to affect any other part of the system... I checked properties and the device manager, and it shows as a harddrive, it has the manufacturer and everything... But it has an icon from an installed game, note it never did this for ages while the game has been installed. the only affect is the icon and that you cant browse the drive without explorer, also right click options like autoplay... The system is well protected with norton antivirus 2003... i cant figure out how to fix this and a reboot didnt help either, it booted from the drive fine...

any ideas?

In the root of that drive is a file called autorun.inf. Delete it.
