Doubled external usb hard drives?



This morning my usb external hard drive started playing up by showing
two instances, i.e.;-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ls -l /media
total 48
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 22 20:10
8eef3b99-c17b-4913-ae61-d34c7fd5d459
drwxrwxr-x 184 root boztu 12288 Dec 24 18:13
8eef3b99-c17b-4913-ae61-d34c7fd5d459_
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There was some problem with kernel errors I saw whilst I rebooted to
try to clear it, but it was so faint and beneath my wallpaper and then
scrolled off before I could read it, that I dont know what it said.

This is its line from /etc/fstab ;-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/dev/sdb1 /media/8eef3b99-c17b-4913-ae61-d34c7fd5d459 auto default\
s 0 0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Can anyone help me out please as I use this drive for all my backups
and it holds five months of them so it is rather important to me.

Sharon.
