	...and I just figured out the rest of the problem.  DiskDoctor
restores your files to the ROOT of the disk partition.  Therefore, a file
called "Disk.info" which was in a subdirectory would be restored to the
root!!  That's why the original poster had an unexpected disk icon --
DiskDoctor restored Disk.info to the root of the partition.
