I currently have Windows Vista as my main OS, and I'd like to keep it that way for now. My HD is ~60 Gigs, 42 or so occupied by Vista (most space allowed to it apparently), and I have a swap of 4.5 Gigs. I'm not sure if I need a swap that big, or if I even need one...
Anyways, I want to install Ubuntu and give it a few Gigs to test out. I was fine setting it up and leaving about 4GB to Ubuntu out of the Vista share, but I'm getting an error with too many primary partitions. Is there a problem with my swap (it is a primary I believe), or am I missing something silly here..?
Edit:
I have a swap of 6.35 Gigs, 3.65 Gigs unallocated, OS at 43.84, and a 2 GB partition set as a primary and unnamed(this one's throwing me off).
