not see how booting? show grub 1.97 in mbr , 12.04 using grub2 version 1.99 , not compatible.

windows partition, boot stanza , boot.ini ok. script not parse internals, windows issue. may need chkdsk or other windows repairs.

suggest totally uninstall grub2 , reinstall.

if can boot install, can skip chroot part.

chroot & grub uninstall & reinstall -drs305
