Thread: Error 18 fixmbr


installed windows xp on new ata hdd , added ubunto next; got error 18 ; used fixmbr @ win console repair; able access windows not ubunto; guess grub removed on repair. bring ubunto back.
advice appreciated
many

i need 2 things: make & model of machine & manufacture date if known. need more info setup & boot process. let's better @ setup & boot process. boot ubuntu live cd/usb. choose "try ubuntu without changes", when desktop loads come here , use link in signature download boot info script desktop. once on desktop open terminal (applications > accessories > terminal) , run command
code:
sudo bash ~/desktop/boot_info_script*.sh
create results.txt file on desktop. paste entire contents of file here. once pasted highlight text , click # sign on toolbar place code tags around text.

error 18 result of older bios not being able read past point on hard disk. if files needed boot beyond boundary error 18. there 2 ways fix this. either update bios if update can fix limitation available or when install ubuntu make 100-200 mb /boot partition @ beginning of disk.
