Yep, 100% sure. This 200MB partition, sda2, was my old/deprecated /boot 
partition.
Actually maybe I should stop refering to it as my "/boot" partition, since to 
Ubuntu, it's obviously not /boot, but just some unused partition. I guess I 
should just say: "/dev/sda2" shows up even though I didn'ty mount it.

As for the mounting point "/media/disk"... I don't know what it means. I looked 
in /media, and I can't see ant directory by that name..
 it's a bit confusing ?

Here is the listing of my partitions on /dev/sda:

------------
Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0001b348

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1        1275    10241406    c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sda2            1276        1300      200812+  83  Linux
/dev/sda3            1301       30401   233753782+   5  Extended
/dev/sda5            1301        2065     6144831   83  Linux
/dev/sda6            2066        2703     5124703+  83  Linux
/dev/sda7            2704        3977    10233373+  83  Linux
/dev/sda8            3978       30146   210202461   83  Linux
/dev/sda9           30147       30401     2048256   82  Linux swap / Solaris
---------------

Basically:

- Windows XP
- sda2, that deprecated /boot partition I don't use anymore,  that I didn't 
mount but that shows up anyway in Nautilus
- sda5 and 6 : root and home partitions for the development version of Ubuntu
- sda7 and 8 : root and home partitions for the stable/current version of Ubuntu
- swap
