How do I restore the look of my drive icon after I've formatted my G-Tech drive on the Mac?

Download the icon package from our website here: Download Mac Icons

Once the file has downloaded, you will see a disk image file on your desktop titled "G-TECH Icons"

Double click on the file to open the folder and you will see all the G-Tech icons.

Select the icon that you want to use and press the Command key and the "C" key at the same time (Command+C) to copy the Icon to the clipboard.

On your desktop select the drive that you would like to apply the icon to.  Press Command+I (will open the Info window)

Click on the Icon in the upper left part of the "Get Info" window.

Press Command+V (Paste) on your keyboard to paste the icon to the drive.

Close all windows.

You're done!
