Hi,

you are on the wrong side of that partition, you could delete the swap partition to the right and use the free space but you cannot use the space to the left of your current Zorin 6 partition, you could create swap in the space on the left!!.

Regards Wolfman :D

Thank you swarfendor437 for your advise, but I have installed Ultimate Edition on the unallocated space, so now i have a tribleboot, W7, UE 3.4 and Z6 ultimate.. It all seems to work fine.
