Don't know if this will help, but the normal Icon shows when in safe mode for both Administrator and the Owner.
When looking for more answers to this, I came across a post that suggested the the default icon file (IconCache.db) may be corrupted. They suggest deleting that file and restarting the computer. They thought this should cause the default HDD icon to return.
