Market Icon MISSING -help!

After upgrading to 2.2, the Market icon is missing.  Any ideas on how I can get it back?????

Is it in your apps drawer. If it is, just keeping touching the homepage you want it on until the pop up menu pops up. Choose shortcut - apps - and scroll down to the market icon and click on it. It will then be on that particular home page. If it isn't in your apps drawer, google it in the search box and redownload it.

It's not in my apps drawer.  Can't find it when I google it in the search box.

I checked every site where I thought you might be able to do a download. No luck, sorry. Okay, try taking out your battery for about a minute, put it back in and re-boot. If this doesn't work, you might, unfortunately, have to do a factory reset. I'm certain that a factory reset will restore all apps that originally came loaded on the Droid, including Market. Unfortunately, you will have to start over. If you do a factory reset, after you go through the Google sign-up process, open up market, click on the menu key and tap on downloads, from there you can restore any apps you might have downloaded. As for contacts, Google should have them stored and restore them to your Droid. Good luck.

Are you by chance using Launcher Pro? If so make sure that the shortcut is not hidden from app drawer, From Desktop click left menu button/Prefrences/General Settigns/Hidden Apps and make sure it isnt checked to be hidden.

Removed the battery...no luck.  I will proceed with the factory reset (which I was hoping I didn't have to do ).  Thank you for your help.
