Considering this is your second post and no body else answered i would go
as far as saying "no".
Why not?.
I would imagen because it is a msdos partition and not a linux partition,
however haing said that why not try;
dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=65536
(Taken from 'man swap')
Where swapfile would/could be /dosc/tmp/swapfile
DO NOT BLAME ME IF THIS DESTROY's your dos partition.
On the otherhand why not do the above on a "linux partition".??
