    i only know about this:
    Boot Info Script 0.55 dated February 15th, 2010

    ============================= Boot Info Summary: ==============================

    => Grub 2 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks on the same drive in
    partition #5 for /boot/grub.

    sda1: _________________________________________________________________________

    File system: ntfs
    Boot sector type: Windows Vista/7
    Boot sector info: No errors found in the Boot Parameter Block.
    Mounting failed:
    ntfs_attr_pread_i: ntfs_pread failed: Input/output error
    Failed to read NTFS $Bitmap: Input/output error
    NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a
    SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows
    then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very
    important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate
    it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g.
    /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation
    for more details.

    GRUB can corrupt Win7 and make it unbootable and irreparable when on the same HD.

    The best arrangement for Linux distros is to place them on separate HD and boot via BIOS boot order or one-time BIOS Boot menu without GRUB or Windows-managed Dual Boot.

    Try running Startup Repair from the DVD Repair console or Repair CD. All of the necessary tests and fixes are automated in Startup Repair, which sometimes runs best from DVD/CD.

    can you boot into Ubuntu or Windows XP? I would boot into XP and ran chkdsk x: /r. Replace x: with your windows 7 partition.
