[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1127107, member: 145676"] If you right click on the sidebar in finder -> open sidebar preferences -> you should see a list of available default sidebar items and one of them should be the main hard drive. If that doesn't work try this [i]to get to spotlight and open a terminal[/i] [code] cmd-space <enter> terminal [/code] [i]select the terminal program and start it[/i] [i]in the terminal type these commands[/i] [code] cd / open . [/code] That should open a finder window at your top level hard drive. That should be failsafe if a program messed with your system. Otherwise you could also try cmd-clicking on the titlebar of finder -> you should see a folder path with the top level being your computer (counterintuitively the top level is at the bottom of the list). Select that and you should see your hard drive there. [/QUOTE]
