I am having great issues with installing the newest version the LTS version of ubuntu (8 point whatever). It is on a dual boot system with a small portion for windows, everything has been going just fine up until I went and the installation of ubuntu finished and I hit enter and he was restarting as it should and then it came up with the black screen with text saying

" Grub loading please wait...
Error 18 "

I know what the Error is, but I am not sure how to get around it, as far as I know my only partition program is in my windows side, partition magic. I really don't know what to do, I am going to need pretty good instructions.

Disk in? .. as in a Live CD? Detail your system config ... drive and partition sizes ... everything. Explain exactly what your doin when your getting these errors.
