I'm assuming you chose manual partition?

just set the 1GB partition for formatting and choose swap.

format the root partition (39GB set as /) to ext3

if i remember correctly "swap" is one of the choices in the "format type"
drop down box when you set it to format.

choose "swap" for the 1GB partition.

Actually, if you already had a swap partition it were no need to format it. The only partition you have to format when installing Mint is the root partition (with mount point /)

this is true.... but I don't think he had it as "swap" already...

If you want to hibernate the computer (supposing you can hibernate) then 2 GB swap is better.
