Where can I find the "Macintosh HD" icon?

I recently got a new MacBook Air, but I cannot find the "Macintosh HD" or Hard Drive on the Desktop or under the Devices tab in the Finder. Where can I access my hard drive?

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.1)

Select Preferences from the Finder's Finder menu, click on the General icon in the toolbar. Check the boxes for items you want displayed on the Desktop. Click on the Sidebar icon and you can also configure what's displayed in the sidebar.

You can also set the "new finder window" to open to a particular folder, such as your HDD everytime you open a new finder window.
