I have been trying to put windows onto my system as I made the switch to full linux awhile ago, but the need for certain windows programs is obviously tough to break.

Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

/dev/sda5 19087 19457 2980026 82 Linux swap / Solari
I am posting this information because in the other topics I have seen they always asked for them. Whenever I use Gparted though there are no options for me to make a new partition all the options are basically greyed out and I have even tried using it from gksudo.
I am on an EEEpc and cant really do much from the way of live cd's as I have seen in other topics as well.
