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).
