Hi Mark

I count four partitions before you try to create that 100 MB Linux
swap partition. You can't have five partitions. Illegal. (Logical
drives inside extended partition don't count here.)

I'd suggest that you use PM to expand the extended partition to
the end of the drive and then create another logical drive inside
the extended partition. Use that for the Linux swap.

Regards,
Bill
