Thanks for responding. To answer your question, no. I created a partition for Ubuntu and installed on that. Since reporting this error, I let it sit on the "Activating swapfile swap" message overnight. When I woke up, it had gone through it, and I don't get that message any more. Maybe I just wasn't waiting long enough before. Cameron
