My Macintosh HD icon has completely disappeared from both my desktop and my finder sidebar, despite the preferences being correct. I've tried restarting, repaired permissions, trashed the finder prefs, and reset the SMC, but nothing has worked. Attached is a quick grab of the situation. Thanks in advance for any help.
Got a tip for us?

Go to Finder -> Preferences and see if HD icons is unchecked.
Then in those preferences go to the sidebar tab and see if it's unchecked there as well.
