Alas, my friend, your search is fruitless.  The disk icon, as well as many
"standard" Mac icons (the system file icon (the little Macintosh), the 
"Welcome to Macintosh" screen icon (the Mac being drawn in squiggly lines),
etc.) are stored in the Macintosh ROM.  so, unless you have a team of lawyers
that can beat Apple, a ROM decoder a ROM burner and a ROM editor, you're out
of luck.
