I think you should review your folder options.  Try going to Control Panel, click folder options (this is in win 7).  Under the general tab, check off 'show all folders'.  You can also click the view tab, another bunch of options there that may make the folder show up, if it doesn't show up after checking off 'show all folders'.

I think this hard drive used to be a main drive, that's why it's got a recycle bin all it's own.  So it doesn't show up on the desktop, or windows explorer.  Can something be done in DOS?
