I have 1299 cylinders. As far as I can see, only 1268 are used. The rest was
supposed to be allocated to my swap. Fo some reason, it's not. Is it because
the second partition is an NTFS partition and because of that partition 5
should be of the same type? Here's the partition info again:


->    Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
-> /dev/hda1             1       277   2094088+   6  FAT16
-> /dev/hda2           278       556   2109240    5  Extended
-> /dev/hda3   *       557       563     52920   83  Linux
-> /dev/hda4           564      1268   5329800   83  Linux
-> /dev/hda5           278       556   2109208+   7  HPFS/NTFS
