So when i try to restore it with the system recovery cds (that came with) it lets me go through a couple of load outs before a error messages pops up saying " ERROR #1826 FREE SPACE NOT FOUND". What should i do to fix this? If anyone could help id really appreciate it... I cannot acess the login screen or any of the startup menu items because the computer wont load the account. How do i clear the memory? I'm not intrested in savng anything but if i could i would give it a try... Please help?

You can test the hard drive with a prepared bootable CD of "SeaTools for DOS" from here: http://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/seatools/ Then, on a working PC, install IMGBURN from here: http://www.filehippo.com/download_imgburn/ Use IMG

I don't seem to be able to resolve this because my CD ROM is dysfunctional so I cannot do a wipe and reinstall. I put Ubuntu using PLOP manager when I had Windows XP... I then overwrite the Windows XP with Ubuntu. None of the above solution would work because I cannot get pass GRUB GNU screen. Is there anyway out of this? oldfredMarch 27th, 2013, 03:21 PMMoved to your own thread. You really have to have a way to boot externally, either CD or flash drive to make repairs. If https://forums.techguy.org/threads/i-have-an-error-1826-what-should-i-do-to-clear-more-space-for-memory.1077894/ you get a grub rescue prompt, you should be able to manually boot.

My gpt drive looks like (hd0), (hd0,gpt1). Two choices, new CD or maybe you can remove drive, and plug into another system as an external or even internal drive. Then you can make repairs. allegroconcertoApril 1st, 2013, 06:13 AMOkay, I bought a replacement CD drive, what is the next step? I tried to wipe out Ubuntu altogether with my original Windows XP recovery CD, but I got Error #1826 Free space not found fantabApril 1st, 2013, 10:21 AMYes Windows does NOT work on ext4/Linux partitions. Download and burn a fresh Ubuntu.iso (burn at the lowest possible speed), if you don't already have Ubuntu LiveCD/DVD. Boot with it and opt for "Try Ubuntu", once the Desktop is ready Back Up and rescue any DATA that you want to. Then open and run GPARTED, using which you can repartition your HDD accordingly. From the desktop icon "Install ubuntu" install your Ubuntu and at the appropriate screen choose "Something Else" option to manually set your install target partition on HDD.

However when i loaded the disc & asked it to recover just as it started an error message appeared #1826 no free space found. Now i'm no scientist but have used recovery error #1826 consoles before & never come up against this. Has anyone else discovered this & found a solution. Does it sound like a manufacturer repair? Any help very much appreciated.

Restart your computer. Press F9 key immediately when the ASUS logo appears. The recovery procedure will start now. Follow the instructions and your computer will be restored to the factory settings. Good luck!! Edit Reply Quote & Reply Donohoe VIP Member Posts : 2 Level : Tech Points : 0 From: Ireland Posted:1/10/2009 7:25:00 PM # 3 Thanks for reply. However this will not work either. Options 1-4 consistently give me the same reply. So i assume it is a manufacturer repair then????
