Hard drive has become flash drive

Hi all,
I'm after doing something stupid and I was wondering if there's anybody out there who could help me. I tried to set up a home wireless network using XP wizard with the recommend option, use a flash drive. Now for some stupid reason, I selected one of my hard drives as the flash drive instead of the actually flash drive. Anyway, my hard drive now has the flash drive icon in my computer and some of the setup files have also been placed in the drive. Does anyone know how I can change this back so that the drive will have the right icon and not be recognized as a flash drive? The drive still works fine but I would like to change everything back to the way it was. Thanks
Shav
