so i'm not the smartest apple on the tree, but i seem to have lost my hard drive and am having a darned hard time finding it!!! when i log in, all i get is the finder, but no hard drive! who knows what may have happened, but does anyone know how to get it back? is there a virtual lost and found?
if it matters i have the last generation of imacs.
thanks!!!!!

has anyone seen my hard drive?
Go to Finder, click Finder menu -> Preferences, then check Hard Discs at the top
when i click on finder, it says "finder not running".
is there another place i can access this finder menu?
thanks so much for your help!
This dosn't sound good, have you tried clicking the finder icon in the dock to relaunch it, or hit Command-Option-Escape click finder and hit relaunch
Maybe try rebuilding the desktop?
when i click the finder icon it says finder not running and when i hit the apple in the upper left corner, there is no finder. my hard drive isn't named and my hubby thinks this may be the problem. also, when i close all of my applications, there is not toolbar on my desktop, only the dock. )c:
If you can get to the Terminal, you should be able to rename the HD, but I am not sure how, anyone?
This sounds like a very weird problem with a (probably corrupt) finder. Perhaps reinstalling OS X is the best solution.
can i do this without backing EVERYTHING up? i have about 14 gigs that i would need to back up!
my hubby says that he did this, but my hard drive wasn't named so it wouldn't see it. can i name my hard drive?
