Hi, I've just set up a machine with Ubuntu 7.10 Desktop (master) and Windows XP (slave) and had the "Error 18" on start up. However after reading this thread I solved the problem by letting the BIOS detect (IDE HDD Auto Detection) the hard drives cylinders, heads and sectors instead of using the "Auto" setting.
