supported by BIOS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I am running Jaunty Jackalope on a new machine and after a recent update I got the following message when trying to reboot: Error 18 - Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS After reading some of the info on Grub error 18 I decided to create a separate boot partition, as suggested. However, when trying to use Gparted from the live CD to create some space ahead of /sda1, Gparted would run for a while and then crash. The crash message says: "e2fsck crashed with SIGSEGV in qsort" So now I am stuck, unable to boot http://www.supergrubdisk.org/forum/index.php?topic=150.0 from HDD and unable to create new partitions (the other partitions on the disk work fine with Gparted). Could all of this be due to corrupt /sda1 partition? Since I am pretty new at this I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!

periféricosLo que figura en el título es el error que se me produce al seleccionar que arranque windows XP desde el grub (tengo instalado también Xubuntu 6.10 Edgy) Lo que ocurrió es que en un principio me funcionaba todo perfectamente, pero en la partición de linux tenía muy poco espacio libre, así que en windows usé el Partition Magic para redimensionar y mover las particiones hasta que quedó a mi gusto. Tuve que reiniciar la máquina para que el Partition Magic hiciera lo que necesitaba. Al finalizar y reiniciar nuevamente la PC, cuando accedo al grub y selecciono el arranque de windows xp me sale el siguiente error: ERROR 18: SELECTED CYLINDER EXCEEDS MAXIMUM SUPPORTED BY BIOS No puedo iniciar Windows, pero sí Xubuntu. Otro dato de relevancia y que a lo mejor tiene algo que ver es que el disco es de 40 Gb, pero la Mother soporta sólo 32 Gb, para cual tiene colocado el jumper en la posición que limita su capacidad a 30 Gb. Lo que pasa es que antes de hacer esas operaciones con el Partition Magic todo andaba a la perfección, tomando los 40 Gb, pero con el jumper en la misma posición (en la que lo tengo ahora). Alguna idea de cómo solucionar el problema? ¿Se solucionará si reinstalo Windows XP y luego el Grub?
