No, /dev/hda is the first drive on the first IDE controller. /dev/hda[1..N] designates each partition on the /dev/hda device. > I was recently told my program is on hda6 and it is out of space.

You can't really merge partitions. Well, you *can*, but it isn't trivial, and will usually hose your data. Your best bet is to backup your data, reinstall using the custom partitioning option, and create the entire drive as the root partition (with a 20GB /boot, if you aren't using grub). -- "Of course I'm in shape!
