In your case, the relevant partition is probably /dev/sda3 (at position 73GB), a dedicated partition for /boot. Reading the above link, it appears that your computer may have a 8GB limitation. That is, you would need to move /dev/sda3 to come to the start of the hard disk. Can this be done with GParted from the installation disk? You can also check if your manufacturer provides an updated BIOS that does not have a BIOS access limitation. Tom (tom6) said on 2009-08-22: #2 Hi :) Yes Simos is right there. Updating the bios can be daunting and could cause problems if your machine gets stuck halfway through. i would avoid it unless you are either quite experienced with this type of thing or else don't care if the machine gets trashed. It's unusual for it to go that wrong but does sometimes happen. I have been trying to re-write/heavily-edit the LiveCd guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD so any feedback on that guide would be most welcome and if you can add screenshots that would be even better, i could re-arrange them later. I'm not totally happy with it at the moment but i think it's getting there. Anyway, from a LiveCd session go up to

I have an "old" notebook where I've grub loading error installed Windows XP and then Ubuntu 8.04 - everything worked well for a long time. After the kids played with it (i.e. I have not seen what happened), I couldn't boot anymore. Grub simply said Error 17, and nothing else. After several Error 17 failures, the error changed to Error 18 - and this is the error it shows now. What have I tried? I tried several Linux LIVE CD's and DVD's I have: Ubuntu 8.04, Kubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 11.10, Fedora 11, etc. - none of them is able to start, in all modes and options I tried (I have not manually edited the commands, but tried the provided options). I can't use the Live CD OS, and I can't install them either. This is important: it is ok to erase all HD contents! It is ok to format, repartition, lose all HD data - no problem. In most of the Ubuntu flavours, including the 8.04 CD, the initialization stucks, showing repeatedly the following error messages: ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 ata3.00: BMDMA stat 0x25 ata3.00: cmd 25/00:08:e5:a5:50/00:00:12:00:00/e0 tag 0 dma 1024 in at
