I don't have unpartitioned space in my hard disk to increase the swap space....
Please suggest how should I go ahead to increase
I believe I need to format any primary/extended partition and recreate it with less size to reclaim space for swap depending upon whether swap lies in primary or extended.......
I am confused ...please suggest...
the required partition information is attached......
thanks

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 4865.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
