    It should be as easy as loading and using the Disk Druid to delete and
    remake the partition. MAKE SURE IT IS THE CORRET PARTITION !! But this
    would be a logical partition and I don't believe you can boot from a
    logical partition. BTW you can use your swap partition from the other
    distribution since it only stores inactive system memory -- virtual
    memory --.
