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 ?
