Can you give the output of:

mount; df -h; sudo parted -l

Thanks

If you boot on Ubuntu CD, with "Try without install", you can reduce size of current partitionj, to free space for swap.

Or you can also specify a file as swap space... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq

Can you help with this problem?
