Ross,

Thanks for your help, that is almost exactly what shows up when I begin the installation. The only snag is that the swap partition that I create shows up as “free space” in the Disk Druid partition manager. So, I try to format it as swap but after attempting to do so, I am informed that I cannot create anymore partitions. Now, I checked this partition with the Bootitng software, and it indicates that the “free space” that Disk Druid sees is swap formatted. The Bootitng software has this clause that says that if there are more than 4 partitions, then they should only be managed by bootitng. My hard drive partitions are as follows: 15MB for some “dell utility” thing, 30GB for my windows system, 15GB shared (fat32), 14GB linux native, 1GB swap (you pretty much nailed it in your last post.) That makes 5 and I am inclined to guess that clause with bootitng as the problem. Any thoughts? On a side note, do I do anything to my shared partition while I am in disk druid or just leave it as it is?
