Hi:

I don't know the reason you want to delete your swapp partition, but if you want, run knoppix from Cd and then use QTparted as root (from shell):

#su
#qtparted

In this way you are allowed to do modifications in your partitions, if you can't you could use different programs like fdisk or similar.

In order to access your partitions (disks) try configuring your kde desktop and choosing the different icons you want to see. Make different test as you see they work or not
