    Thumbs down grub & Swap partition error

    I installed debian in a partition. I also have windows. I made some changes in the partition using partition magic in widows. But i never touched any thing on the ext3 partition where debian is installed. But in boot its showing that grub error 17. I tried using a PUPPY live CD. But after some changes to the grub file, it worked well. but it says unable to make swap partition active. What may be the error.

    Post the ouput of fdisk -l and free commands. Post the contents of /etc/fstab file too.
    Code:
    su -
fdisk -l
free
cat /etc/fstab
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
