External HD not showing up on desktop when plugged in

[Joey225]

Simply as the title says, since day one my external HD has not shown up on my desktop when I plug it in, whereas every other Mac I've ever used has had them show up. Is this a setting I need to change?

Mid-2011 iMac running the latest version of Lion.
