Missing Folders, Collections in left panel

Help! I recently added a new catalog in the right panel of LR (I use a PC). I then noticed that my Collections and Folders in the left panel were missing (the icons for both were not there anymore). Since they all contained images that have been edited and worked on extensively, I regularly went to them for uploading to hard drive or cd's for sending to clients. Does anyone know how I can located and return these folders/collection to the left panel?

    In the library module, left-hand panel, right-click on one of the other section headers (Folders, Catalog, etc.) and make sure there is a checkmark in Collections.

    OR

    in the Windows menu go to Panels and click on Collections.

    Yes, both Catalog and Folders are checkmarked...this has been the ongoing suggestion from various forums, but they are both already checkmarked.

      Well, let's slow down a little bit. I don't think I was thinking. Is this a NEW catalog? There won't be any folders or collections if it is a new catalog because you haven't imported anything nor have you created any collections in that new catalog. Or maybe I'm not understanding what you're doing.
