    Yes. You would have to temporarily move the autorun file and icon to another drive or computer before formatting.

    Yes, it does. Make sure the icon file you want to use is in the .ico file format and in the autorun.inf file; also, make sure you put "ICON" in all caps. Lastly, make sure everything is spelled correctly and there are no typos.
