My guess is they installed OSX from scratch, and by default it hides hard discs. Open your finder preferences and check to see if hard discs are checked to be shown I believe when you first open that pane. That should solve the issue for you.

My hard drive failed in my Mac Mini. I got it back today with a new hard drive, but I have a couple of questions. The first is that when I go to the desktop, I can't see the new hard drive. It usually says Macintosh HD, but I can't see anything except my external hard drive. What can I do to be able to see it? I have a backup from before the old hard drive failed. I would like to restore some of this data to the new hard drive. I have never done this before. Can someone tell me how you restore data from a back up? I can't figure it out. Thank you very much in advance.
