Thanks for your reply Optimus,

But I did run into problems. I don't know what it is but simple command like "mv /tmp/HOLD ." would take 2 sec and ls would take 2 sec also to start. When I use free It shows that the swap is there and not being used at all. I just don't get it. I have no problems with my desktop Linux. Actually with 512M of Ram, runs faster then my laptop.
I end up making a swap file of 1gig. But this does not seem to work. I think that I have to send my laptop back or ask them to send mv another gard drive that is correctly formated/partition. THANKS
