What OS X version?
Did you have permissions problems before this issue?

This will run permissions repair from commandline (single user):
diskutil repairPermissions /

What does it mean when the graphics for desktop come up but no icons or text?
Is the OS on there already?

Those are interesting questions that I don't know the answer to...
(I'm not going to experiment in Single User - sorry)
