I didn't find this until I went to Jaguar, so it may not exist in previous versions. At the bottom of the window (column view), you should see a horizontal scroll bar. Move it to the left, and you'll find your volumes.
If that doesn't work for you, try typing "/Volumes" (without the quotes) in the text box at the bottom and hitting Enter. That should take you there.
This is a byproduct of BSD, and the way that it handles filesystem hierarchy. The desktop is not the root of the machine, like in Windows, but actually a folder several levels in. Your Volumes can't actually be on your desktop, because your desktop is on your Volume. I hope that makes some sense.

Hello
I've noticed that everytime I want to save or open a file the dialog that
comes up is very very odd. You can no longer go to "desktop" to find your
volumes and choose one to save. I have several volumes in my extra 9GB drive in
which one of them is for MP3s and Movies only. How the heck am I supposed to
reach those? I selected every little thing in the Menu that appeared and
couldn't get to the root no matter what. I made aliases of my volumes on the
desktop and it seems to work (well at least I tried with Mail haven't tried with
other appplications yet), if the aliases can come up how come the volumes
can't? This is very annoying, can someone help I am pretty lost here.
