Yes. Try a 1 GB swap partition along side the other partition.

meh, even though I do prefer GUI on Linux lots of time. Shell in this case works much better and easier than interface.

Also, It sounds to me like he hasn't got linux installed yet, he's just making the initial partitions, wich should be possible in the installer program. Depends on which linux distro it is.

Did you boot into Windows(your not supposed to) Set the CD Drive to a higher priority than your HD in your BIOS. What Linux distro are you trying to install?(flavor of linux)
