[QUOTE="Nighthawk4, post: 1276113, member: 61193"] I had that problem originally. For some reason the default is not to show the main drive in one particular view of Finder. Using Preferences in Finder does allow this to be shown. I suppose the theory is that all the files it is 'safe' for the user to see are in Favourites, so you don't need to see the volume in Devices as well, because Devices shows folders which are best left alone. I suspect most of us prefer to be able to see these folders - and leave them alone :) [/QUOTE]
