What is that icon anyway, I've never seen it before. It can be fixed though.

Open the Registry Editor and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows >CurrentVersion > Explorer > DriveIcons

If you find any value there other than (Default), delete it and restart. Should look like this.

enable windows explorer to show "protected system files" and enable hidden files and delete the .ico file inside that drive, or just format it.
