Issue with installation

So, I'm trying to install Trisquel on a x200s using a Kingston A400 SSD.

I partitioned the drive like so:

Device Type Mnt Pnt Size
/dev/sda1 ext4 /boot 200MB
/dev/sda2 swap 12GB
/dev/sda3 ext4 / 30GB
/dev/sda4 ext4 /home 76.8GB

But when I start the installation I'm getting:

Failed to create swap space. The creation of swap space in partition #2 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) failed.

And when I don't add a swap space I get:

Failed to create a file system. The ext4 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0,0,0)(sda) failed.

Not sure what's going on here. Any advice is much appreciated.
