It's not mounted on my desktop or in finder. I'm not really sure what happened. I restarted my computer just to clean up the ram and when it turned back on my hard drive wasn't on the desktop or finder. I still have access to all my files but my drive doesn't show up anywhere. Wtf?
Got a tip for us?

Well...my internal hard drive is gone...

So the drive appears to still be working okay. You just can't see it in the Finder, correct?
If so, try going to the Finder Preferences. Click on the Sidebar icon.
Look under Hard Disk option. You might see only a dash. Uncheck it. Then recheck it. Your HD should appear.
That didn't do it. I'm not really sure what's happened. I tried restarting, logging out and back in, I verified my HD in Disk Utility (the only place it actually shows up), and nothing is working. I don't know if I need to re-mount it or what has happened.
You can see in the picture that the only place that my HD (Charles) shows up is in Disk Utility.

I am not running Leopard, so I cannot check for specifics. But since you can see your files, I believe that it is a simple issue of the icon for the drive not showing on the Desktop or in the Finder.
Try un-checking all of the items shown on the Sidebar, then check them again and see what happens.
Puzzled. Maybe a good idea to go to the Apple store.
Please let us know what the issue was?
TIA.
Well, I'm not sure what the problem is, but I think I know how to fix it.

I have to download Xcode first. Hopefully this fixes it. I will post my results!!!

Yeah that's already been done. My Drive isn't showing up ANYWHERE. I can't even see it by clicking Go>Computer. Nothing shows up.
Does it show up if you select Go, Go to Folder and type
Code:
/VolumesIs it listed if you open up a Terminal and type
Code:
ls -la /Volumes
