That doesn't look right. /dev/sdb2 is mounted at "/media/data_" and
also 
at "/media". That hides everything else mounted at "/media/*". Did you 
mount it manually there? Anyway, I would suggest you use the command

sudo umount /media

to make it a single mount. Maybe you that was the real problem and you 
can then access both partitions already. Otherwise I would assume you 
can't write to any of the partitions. As you have ext4 partitions the 
commands to make directories for you would be something like this:

sudo mkdir /media/disk/$USER
sudo mkdir /media/data_/$USER
sudo chown $USER: /media/disk/$USER
sudo chown $USER: /media/data_/$USER
