My guess is that you've got multiple linux installations.

After your first install, you would have partitions with labels such as 
"/" and "/usr".  Install again without removing existing partitions, and
the installer will create new partitions labelled "/1" and "/usr1".

fdisk will show you the list of partitions on your disk.
