Bootloader Error 18

[Trent Lloyd]

Slabber,

This is the wrong mailing list for such questions, I refer you to the
ubuntu-users mailing list, you can find information about it here

http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users

(FWIW,

18 : Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS
    This error is returned when a read is attempted at a linear block
    address beyond the end of the BIOS translated area. This generally
    happens if your disk is larger than the BIOS can handle (512MB for
    (E)IDE disks on older machines or larger than 8GB in general).

Ask the ubuntu-users mailing list how you can fix this)

Cheers,
Trent
