Does your disk have a name, ie. volume label? It appears as a hidden file on the disk. Mine has three partitions, of which the first contains three hidden files (system files plus label) and the other two contain one hidden file each. You can delete the hidden file by removing the volume name (but now that you know what it is, maybe you do not want to erase it after all). Timo Kiravuo !
