Hello
I had windows with ntfs
I installed ubuntu. All ok. Gurb with 2 os, can ran windows and uvuntu and can mount windows partition in ubuntu
I installed debian with lvm over ubuntu partition.
I can't mount windows partition now, and windows doesn't appears in gurb

I can't active vg because haven't name, but is not lvm, is only ntfs partition
Maybe ubuntu puts in lvm and grub? Any idea? I have a lot of usefull information in
Thanks!

What does 'vgscan' produce? Was windows installed on it's own LVM? did you load the ntfs module (from the kernel) or did you try to use ntfs3g? 'Ware the user though, NTFS write support with either module is flaky at best, some have reported success, some have not, YMMV.
