You can only make that go away by repartitioning and reformatting your hard drive for a standard Mac OS Extended, Journaled filesystem. Apparently you formatted it to be case-sensitive. You should not have done that.

If I partition. Does that allow me two HDD "icons" on my screen? Cause if that's the case, that shouldn't be hard. Thank you!! Much help!
Repartitioning is going to wipe everything from the drive. So you need to have backups of your two existing partitions. You will need to make these backups to a backup drive that is not formatted with a case-sensitive filesystem. I suggest you use Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.5 which should be able to backup from a case-sensitive filesystem to one that is not case-sensitive. The backup drive should be freshly formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled.
When you repartition your old drive you can do so with as many partitions as you wish. Just be sure that you set the format to Mac OS Extended, Journaled. Do not use case-sensitive.
Case-Sensitive box appears when trying to install, how can I make it go away?
