It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

I'll try to best understand but please correct grammar.

If by memory you mean disk space, think of /media being the drive letters for Windows they aren't actually on Ubuntu's partition but they are there for you to see.

I can't understand your second question but if not related to this, I suggest you make a new question for it.

i am sorry i don't speak english very well, what i wanted to ask if i could do the partition with /media mount point without fearing nothing. – meissa Nov 12 '12 at 17:45
Leave /media on your main partition. You have nothing to worry about, it is an empty folder which links to other partitions. – acematrix Nov 14 '12 at 18:22
