How many hard drives do you have in your PC?

Normally /hdc is your CD rom

And /hdd would be your second CD rom

And /hda is your hard drive

Then your partitions look like this:

/hda1
/hda2
/hda3
and so on.

Make sure you format the partition as a swap partition, like this
mkswap /dev/hda2 ( or what ever partition you are using)

I hope this helps.
