Recently a friend of mine updated his Ubuntu Linux and then his Windows partition failed to boot there after. I read up on it and apparently a lot of people are having the problem and it has something to do with karmic to lucid, or something like that I can't remember. I also have a Windows partition. So I'M wondering, does anyone know that that problem has been fixed. I haven't updated my Ubuntu since that happened to his machine and I'M wondering if it's safe to do so yet. Thanks.
