it makes life simplier,
the only clue i see , is that the current lvm can not initialaise the
LV's without initrd
we have to have one normal partition for the initrd

instead of making different partitions, you make only one and make it
LVM and on it make your instalation ,
i think currently both lilo and grub can handle it, or at least there
are patches to boot from lvm
in case you get a new hd simply ad it to the VG and grow your LV's
in case you don't wont more win xx , you don't need to repartition or to
format and try figure out mountpoints and copy some data to the new
mount points
you ad the existing partition to the VG and extend your LV's

reduce the LV and extend the one you need more place
