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.
