sorry for replying bcs I a not an expert in Linux but there seems to be 2 directories with almost the same name one data and one data_ (with an underscore).
In The first command you made a folder called data and then changed the ownership in the 2nd command but the error message shows the data_ folder?
Also the error indicated the folder as /media/data_ and not /media/disk/data
?!
or
May be I didnt get your question right, sorry...
