Startup Manager Icons are wrong

Question

Startup Manager Icons are wrong

When I press the Option Key when restarting the computer, I see the Startup Manager screen.

My MBP has two partitions in the internal drive. I also have a G-Tech external drive.

With the external drive disconnected, I restart the MBP holding the Option Key down. I see the Startup Screen where I get to choose which partition to boot from.

The icons that are shown in the Startup Manager are wrong. Instead of showing the icon for the internal drive, it shows the icons for the G-Tech drives.

Where does it get the icons for Startup Manager and how can I fix it?

Thanks for your assistance.

Roberto

I'm confused by the question. do you mean that the G-tech drive has a custom icon and this icon also gets applied to the internal drives? I'm not positive but I think that the default icons that the startup manager uses are stored directly in the firmware. but if a drive has a custom icon then the startup manager will display it instead.

The G-Tech drive has a custom icon.

The startup manager uses the G-tech custom icon for one of the internal drives.

Thanks,
