On the attached image you will see in my sidebar, there is under Favorties "network" I don't see this on anyone else's screenshots. If I click on it, I get the error in the screenshot. I also can't remove it from the sidebar at all. If I go into finder preferences, it does not show Network at all, so there is no box to uncheck, and I can't right click on it to delete it. (I'd just like to remove it from Favorites)

I don't know if this is because I just changed out the hard drive or not... Today I changed out my hard drive for the Momentus XT 500 GB. Everything went well.. no issues. Thing is I don't remember seeing Network at all under favourites before today! :( It might have been there but I just didn't notice it before... either way it's obviously messed up and if its unusable, I wanna get rid of it!

Never mind... I resolved it!

I deleted the com.apple.sidebarlists.plist under ~/Users/Home/Library/Preferences/ and rebooted - and it reset the sidebar. That pesky non-working 'Network' was gone! Yay!!
