OpenSuse 10.2 Installation error

Hi All,

I'm installing opensuse 10.2 on my system using instlux which uses GRUB loader.That means the source is on hard disk

My problem is, installation is not able to create SWAP partition. My RAM size is 512MB and i'm giving 2GB space for the SWAP partition.

I get the error as follows:
" Failure occurred during following actiom:
Setting type of partition /dev/hda7 to 82
System error code was : -1012"

i'm doing a dual boot installation along with windows server 2003 on my system.

Partitions for Linux i gave are as follows:
/boot --> 100M
SWAP --> 2048M
ResierFS --> remaining space
(total size of that partition on the drive is 15GB)

Please help !!!!
Thanks in advance ..........

Could you list the current partition scheme of your hard drive?
