If I look under File Manager/Devices my hard drive is listed as two discs. One called 'file system' and the other as ST98801AS and this is listed under 'properties' as a 'mount point'. Is this normal? Thanks for your help.

    It's probable that you do have one disk, but the disk contains multiple (two or more) partitions. If you start a terminal (via menu or ctrl+alt+t) then enter the command lsblk (list block devices) you can note the devices which are probably named sda. for my machine sda is a 'disk' device, then sda1 is a part (partition), sda2 is a part (another partition) etc... That is normal
