It's not identified as "removable storage" but yes whatever system
Windows uses to map the icons seems to have become confused and
sent it looking for a non-existent icon file. Probably no way to
tell how it's supposed to work so you'd have to make it forget the
drive and then detect it again. Maybe booting with the drive
unpluged will do this, but I suspect it'll still remember so you'll
need to manually delete something in the registry. A quick web
search brought up these suggestion:
