Hi There,

Just got my first Mac (iMac) and I'm having this really strange issue. My external hard disk drive is not appearing on the desktop or in the finder side bar.

The disk is working fine as I can navigate to it through finder by going to /Volumes/My Book (My Book is the name of my drive) and it’s also showing in disk utility.

Finder preferences are set to show my external hard disk. I am running 10.5.1. My external hard disk is formatted as HFS journaled case sensitive.


NOTE - Just found this

I have tried everything in the thread and it's still not working.

Thanks,

Dan
