If you are looking for the DVD or the USB drive with the software you have to install, just open Finder (the icon at the left of the Dock) and choose your USB drive on the left Finder sidebar, under "Devices".


If you want to show your DVD or USB drive on the desktop, open Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and tick "External drives" and "CDs, DVDs and iPods". Finally, you will see the DVD or USB drive at the top right of your desktop
