Click Finder - Prefrences and on the general tab make sure Hard Disks is checked.
Then go to the Sidebar tab and make sure it is checked there as well. It may have a dash currently.

After you've got everything sorted out you might want to consider upgrading the operating system because the 10.5 version that you are running is getting pretty "old" by Apple standards.

1366378 2014-01-29 20:45:00 I have an Imac running OS X 10.5.8.

My question is, how do I get the disk called Macintosh HD to show on the desktop so I can open it and access the files and folders for that system?

.

1. In the Finder, choose Preferences from the Finder menu.
2. Click the General icon on the toolbar.
3. Select "Hard disks" in the "Show these items on the desktop:" section.
4. Close the Finder Preferences window.
