lol! Moved it straight to the after life, ay? 
Just yesterday I was trying to reinstall Arch Linux after using that partition for something else. Well, I accidentally initialized my Windows partition as a swap. No worries, after much banging and screaming, I tried the Windows CD and its good ol' "fixboot c:" and "fixmbr" and voila. Friggin' miracle that I didn't accidentally format it. |

Oh lol most of the most important things i scribble on the backs of envelopes... i'm feeling you, pyro 
South, swap is not an actual file system, its like ram, ram doesnt really run a file system, swap's just added to addressing.. meaning that if you didn't actually use swap, you wouldn't have lost any data on it, nor its formatting
my friend saw a boot warning to check his filesystem for /, so he goes into console and types in mk2fs /dev/hda5 3 seconds later he realized what he did, but it was already too late, you cant stop mkfs... took him two days to get his box back to where it was...
