Accidentally Deleted Shortcut to Macintosh HD

[PFunkus]

Well I got a new macbook the other day, and I went and accidentally deleted the shortcut to my macintosh HD (from the desktop) and from some other place also.. How do I get it back?


P.S. I haven't set up Time Machine yet, or I would have tried using that.

Thanks!

Click command and space together, this should bring up finder.

Type in Macintosh HD, you should see the icon, click it.

When the new window opens up look at the top of it, you should see a small icon, double click and drag to the desktop.

no, that opens the Spotlight menu where root directories dont show. its used to find files/folders not hard drives.

open Finder's preferences and select "Hard disks" under General and Sidebar.

You're half correct, it does open Spotlight. However, it does locate Macintosh HD. I tried it before writing my original post.

Cheers.

You're both half right...um, is that even possible? Anyway, when I click command-space it brings up Spotlight, but my HD does not show when I search for Macintosh HD. It must be a setting somewhere that can be clicked to show/not show the HD. Beers....errrr, cheers!

In Finder, go to Finder -> Preferences. Under General, check (or uncheck and then recheck) the "Show [...] hard disks" option.

speaking of this,i have a question on something similar. if i drag the mac hd to the doc,will it do that copying thing that would takes minutes from all the stuff being on the hdd.

No, it will simply create a link to the hard drive as if you dragged any other folder to the Dock.
