Some typos ARE important and not to be ignored by the poster :-( .

Another way, at least to see if you do have a swap partition and how large it is use the (?)Disc Manager - the Partitioning tool - which will show what partitions you have. Or use on a command line in a terminal, "sudo fdsck -l /dev/sda[@]" which will also show you all the partitions.

What I should have typed here is, "sudo fdisk -l...." and not "...fdsck....". Sorry about that :-( .
