Sumit, Your / and /media/disk cannot be merged unless they are physically nearby on the disk (sda1 and 6) If you can merge, you can reninstall grub and make sure ur /etc/fstab points to the right partitions Otherwise you may mount your home partition or any other partition on /dev/sda6 (You may need to reformat it) and/or move some content over to it Hope this helps -- Satish Vellanki
