Hi Steve,

Sorry again for the delay in responding. Was away for the weekend.
Yes indeed there is every chance as that's the way I set it up for both 
drives. I did this because I figured it'd be best for the swap partition 
to be first on the drive so it could be accessed faster. I was fairly 
sure this was also the way I had it set for the Debian system. Although 
thinking about it now, maybe they were on the end. However, I never 
deleted the partitions used by the Debian system for my first install of 
Dapper and this still gave the same message. At first I thought this was 
the cause so I recreated the partitions with the Dapper disk. Since then 
I've deleted and recreated them a few times but never with the swap on 
the end.
Do you think this is the problem?

Cheers,

Sonic
