Hi

What is the exact brand and type of the disk?
It may be as people have already suggested: 2 separate disks for some
reason (most probably), but it may be that the same disk is displayed
twice for some reason. Have you actually written files to the disk? If
these files apear in both disks you should forget about it, it's just
irritating and a minor incompatibility problem between the stick and
Linux.
