Macintosh HD listed twice in sidebar

I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro and transferred all my data over. I am noticing two Macintosh HD listed on the sidebar. When I click on them they are exactly the same. Did it somehow duplicate the hard drive or did it just list it twice and I can remove one of the listings?

How many drive icons do you see on the Desktop? There should be one, labeled "Macintosh HD." If you widen the Finder's sidebar, you should find that the listings under Locations consist of "Macintosh HD" and "Macintosh HD - Data." If this is what you see, then it's normal because one of the volumes is hidden. Now, if you actually do see duplicate entries of "Macintosh HD," then select the second entry and drag it out of the list until you see a gray circle with an "X" in it. Release the mouse.
