That was kind of my point too.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If you truly have your heart set on having the nice clean partition look, put your Windows XP disc in the drive, boot from the CD and reinstall Windows. It will allow you to partition that drive right before you install. If you're thinking of mucking around with Partition Magic, I'd guess you have enough computer literacy to do the Windows install route too.
And, to the best of my knowledge, the swap file doesn't get fragmented.
Do the Defrag analysis on the drive where your swap file is. See that green patch? That's your swap file.
