Bug Description
i386 desktop CD - Feisty beta
$ cat /cdrom/.disk/info
Ubuntu 7.04 "Feisty Fawn" - Beta i386 (20070322.1)
live boot - all default options
I inserted an U3 Sandisk Cruzer Titanium USB flash drive (U3 doft removed from it).
Then I booted ubuntu.
When loaded, on the desktop there were two icons for it, both labeled "disk".
Both appear to work (open when double clicked).
Reproducible on my system (desktop PC, Athlon XP2200+)
PS: USB drives were labeled as "usb disk" before Herd5, why are they now just "disk" ?
Why isn't their volume label used ?

Thank you for your bug report.
From what I remember, some Cruzer USB flash drives have a small switch on to disable this. They appear as two drives, one of which under Windows shows up as a cdrom to autorun to install some software.
The two drives that come up, do they both have the same icon? If you write files to one, do they show up on the other?
