There is a shoking problem i once faced...
I am copying movies from my Portabl Segate hard drive to friend's pendrive
My friend asked me to format pendrive before sending some movies in it
I have formatted it, But when i see my 260 gb's collection of movie, it shoked me
Because i have formatted my Portable Hard Disk accidentally.
I feel bad that time. And i tried to recover it from many softwares. Bt I am not able to recover it.
But finally I have recovered that stuff by copying from my firend's computer.
So i have a idea to change that icon so that i don't repeat this type of silly mistake.

Recomended Dimensions of Icons
48 × 48 pixels
32 × 32 pixels
16 × 16 pixels
General icon sizes
Icons on the right side of the Start menu are displayed 24 × 24 pixels size.
Each Windows XP icon should contain these three color depths to support different monitor display settings:
- 24-bit with 8-bit alpha (32-bit)
- 8-bit (256 colors) with 1-bit transparency
- 4-bit (16 colors) with 1-bit transparency
Mainly These Primary Colors Are Used In Icons
