That's the problem-------------------------------------^^^^^^^^^ When You install debian (or most other distributions), you must remove these pseudo-partitions as only DOS understands them. When the menu displays 'partition drive' as a selection, jump in and use the Linux version of fdisk to delete everything *EXCEPT* /dev/hda1. Then create new 'primary' partitions which will become the swap and root partitions. Use the 'type' command to switch the new swap partition from ext2 to swap. And then write it out when you are satisfied with the division of your drive.
