What constitutes as "extremely fragmented"? I got the same problem with 64 fragments on the swap (as verified by contig) on a 80GB, single partition, Dell Inspiron 640m with XP SP3.

While it is not a contiguous file, 64 fragments on a 512MB swap does not seem like a lot. Does it need to be contiguous? I then tried to package the data with "jkdefrag -a 5" to make more room for a contiguous file, but that made so that the Ubuntu boot option did not work (I don't remember the exact error message, but it said that it did not find the wubi loader), I'm guessing this might be due to the packaging setting the loader file beyond the 1024 cylinder?

Will try this again and take more notes from the logs. Maby dig through some code if I find a lead.
