So this is how the story goes....
1)Created a image of the whole ubuntu partition with seagate tool,backed up everythin..
2)Booted with gparted tried to merge sd6 and sd7....was success.
3)tried to merge sd5 and sd6...and as Prakash sir predicted...everythin got fugged up..
4)Used the gparted to delete the 3 partitions and make them one..booted with seagate disk and pasted the backed up image..
5)Ubuntu din boot..so reinstalled the grub...and voila...everythin is as it is and boots well...

Thanx all of u for helping...

Another query..I added a 320GB hdd...and partitioned it in windows...now when i boot in linux...the partitions are there but i hv to give passwd to access...how to get rid of this ..."insert passwd thingy"..

i did a fdisk its not showin the partitions...just the whole second drive
