Scary as it seems, that should take care of it!

I have a similar problem. I cloned my Panther partition (X) from MacHD to a Firewire drive in order to re-partition MacHD, then cloned X back to MacHD and made a new safety clone on a second internal disc. Most document icons have become generic when I boot from the safety clone but are normal when I boot from X.
