[QUOTE="ZeroDay, post: 223005, member: 11608"] It will be easier if you can boot back into Windows and select to shrink the partition you've chosen for Linux. The standard for swap is usually 2x your installed RAM. but you'll be ok with a 4GB swap partition, so you want to create a partition 4096 mb in size. If you want to use GParted to create your swap partition you will need to right click on the partition you created for within Gparted, select resize/move and create your swap partition 4096 mb in size, then select apply. then, from the linux installer just double click the partition you created for swap and select use as swap, then click ok. Then highlight your linux partition and select install now. [/QUOTE]
