Hey,
I just installed an ubuntu/vista dual boot, which was working fine until I expanded my /home (seperate LVM logical volume) with a couple of new disks. Now vista fails to boot with Error 12: Invalid device requested. Output of fdisk and menu.lst below
sde is where Vista resides.
Thanks for any help,
Michael
