Actually, there is a difference between them and most professionals observe the difference. Disk tends to refer to magnetic storage devices such as floppies (floppy disks) and hard drives (also called hard disks). With a -c, however, the term refers to optical media such as a CD (Compact Disc) or DVD (Digital Video Disc or sometimes Digital Versatile Disc). Many people outside the industry don't know the difference and so it is commonplace to use them interchangeably but professionals will use the terms correctly. This is similar to the difference between a motor and an engine. A motor is driven by electricity while an engine is driven by internal combustion (e.g. gasoline, steam, natural gas, coal, diesel, etc.).

If you have any other questions about terminology or other related issues, feel free to let me know.
