Installation trying to use existing swap space?!?!

Post by Josette20 »

Hi

I have an existing dual boot system with windows and Mint. Works great. I want to create a Mint USB for when I travel. I have the Mint image on one USB and use that to install to the other (travel) USB. I have gotten up to the point where I partition the USB for root, swap and home. I'm ready to install and I get a message that the installation program is going to change my existing swap space for my already-installed-and-working-fine version of Mint. How can I get the installation program to ignore my existing Mint installation and just change the (travel) USB?

Thanks!

In the installer, you mark that swap as "Do Not Use This Partition" to... well you can guess what it does.
