Comment 3 for bug 571893

Thanks for your speedy response, Jeff ! As a matter of fact, on both machines, Windows was completely shut down before I upgraded from Karmic to the respective Lucid betas. Both machines have two HDD, on one of which Windows OS, on the other of which Ubuntu is installed. To provide an example, here below the result of running «sudo fdisk -l» on my stationary box :

Disk /dev/sda: 250,1 GB, 250059350016 byte

As can be seen, two Windows OS (Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008) are listed on /dev/sda, but I haven't been able to access them since upgrading to Lucid beta 2....

The problem I describe here is similar, but not identical to that you described in bug #570765 ; it would be interesting to know if anyone else has seen this....
