I have a computer split between Windows Vista and Ubuntu 9.10. A friend of mine who has the same configuration update his Ubuntu several months back and found that his Windows partition was unable to boot up. In order to restore his sytem he had to run Windows recover through his Windows CD. After doing some research I found that a lot of people were having this problem and apparently it had something to do with "Karmic to Lucid" update.

I have not update my Ubuntu in months because of this very problem. What I want to know is, has his problem been fixed? Is it save for me to finally update?
